New FSU quarterback McKenzie Milton has been cleared by his surgeon at the Mayo Clinic to play full-contact football immediately, his mother confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel.
“The exact words were, ‘If you had a game today you, could play,’” Teresa Milton told the Sentinel when asked about her son’s latest evaluation by Dr. Bruce Levy. “He said he has never had a patient with all these injuries recover like this — especially an athlete.”
Milton recently led the UCF scout team while spending the past two years recovering from a catastrophic knee injury. Shortly after transferring to Florida State in December, he said he was looking forward to getting clearance from his surgical team at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in early January.
