UF QB Feleipe Franks comfortable, in command as he distances himself in Gators' starting race
Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks (13) is working to show he deserves to remain the Gators' starter. (Mark Humphrey/AP)To a man on Thursday, UF quarterbacks Feleipe Franks, Kyle Trask and Emory Jones each said he feels more comfortable in Year 2 of Dan Mullen’s offense.
“Now is totally different than last spring,” Franks said.
A year ago, Franks was the face of a 4-7 season, during which he lost his confidence, his coaches and the support of fans.
Now the incumbent QB of a 10-3 ascending team, Franks appears to be the clear front-runner to start his third season opener for the Gators, a feat last achieved a decade ago by Tim Tebow.
