When Feleipe Franks stepped foot on UF’s campus last Spring as an early enrollee, the level of hype and expectation surrounding his arrival was through the roof.
The four-star quarterback from Crawfordville, Florida, had just completed a senior campaign at Wakulla High School that saw him throw for 2,766 yards, 35 touchdowns and two interceptions.
His passer rating of 137.0 was one of the best marks in the country as well, and his 6-foot-6, 219-pound frame gave him rare size and measurables that left many college scouts drooling.
However, when Franks finally made his highly anticipated debut in front of Gators fans at Florida’s Spring game on April 8, 2016, his performance was less than stellar.
