I'm sure that most posters on this board have already heard this, but for anyone who hasn't -

"...Ahead of today’s game—a big 24-13 win over No. 7 Auburn in Gainesville—Franks updated CBS on his situation. With one year of eligibility left, he is not sure if he’ll return to UF, or transfer elsewhere to finish his college career.

Feleipe Franks told @JamieErdahl that he's "not sure" whether he's going to come back to Florida with one year of eligibility remaining. Will decide once recovered 100 percent. Not a surprise. #Gators."

Both of them are listed as RS Juniors for this year, meaning that they would have another year of eligibility as RS Seniors.

I doubt that either one would want to be in a QB competition for the starting job over the spring & fall going into next year.

"...The injury suffered must be "incapacitating", meaning it must be a season-ending injury. The injury must occur during the first half of the season. The player must have competed in no more than 30% of the season or four games, whichever is greater."

Kentucky was our third game, so Franks could theoretically apply for an additional medical redshirt to give him two more years of playing time.

Don't see that medical application happening; With the above comments from Franks, his return even for one year seems questionable; after everything Trask has endured, I feel much more confident about his return.
 
There aren't many college athletes with the patience, perseverance and loyalty to stay with a college. Trask seems to be a rarity in today's world. Not sure if he'll turn out to be a great QB, but the way he's performed coming off the bench vs. Kentucky and then in his first 3 starts since 9th grade has been pretty impressive. I would imagine he'll stay to compete for PT and for the added experience.

Franks would be better off going elsewhere probably to try to convince the NFL he can actually make an intermediate pass. How the Trask and Jones situation plays out going forward could get interesting especially with Trask taking all these hits.
 
What, you mean Trask is a great QB (always has been) and he's also a 4.0 quality person (Eagle Scout) and he's already graduated and working on his Masters???? :eek:

Who would have ever guessed that he was any good at all, being nothing but a 2-star HS backup that nobody else in the country wanted.... o_O - :rolleyes: - :cool: --------- :p --------- :D
 
2020 -- nothing more than my own W-a-G...

1a Trask
1b Jones
"I had to step up and prepare even more as the starter in practice,'' Jones said. "My all-around game is more comfortable. I'm seeing everything clear. It's just smooth for me now. I do it every day. I've been doing it a year and a half now. It's kind of just natural to me now. I just step in there and do what I do at practice."
~ If Dan wanted to go with a Leak/Tebow-2.0 system, I'd also be fine with that arrangement.

Franks to either xfer or to report for baseball...
IF he comes back, and IF he's 100% healthy, then it's up to Dan & Brian to decide....
