Gators backup quarterback John Brantley went through and had surgery about a month or so ago and is now out of his boot. Brantley should be up and ready to practice this coming August.

Brantley had a tear in his ankle from last season but he chose rather to take care of it after the season was over. Brantley participated in all of the spring drills that Florida went through and he didn’t show any signs of pain. He threw for 265 yards in the spring practice game this year which I thought was really remarkable from John.

Brantley will see the field a lot more this year then he did last season. Most likely maybe in the Charleston Southern game you will see two quarters or so full of John Brantley passing and play calling. Right now he is not 100% healthy from the surgery but is maybe half way but he will get there. I’m very excited to see what he will do after Tim Tebow graduates, he is projected to start after Tebow leaves.
