Ex UCF QB McKenzie Milton now on staff

[AllVols]

Ouch, brutal looking play.

Kid was a stud in college, how random

Saw the game he was injured. Both my kids graduated from UCF. We are fans. One of the most horrific injuries I have seen. Almost lost his leg. Living in area I can tell you this that young man has top drawer courage and character. Will be an outstanding influence. McKenzie will make an impact. Book it.

It sucks that his playing career ended the way that it did. I am glad he is making the best of it and still getting to do things he wants to do. If he coaches like he played, he will be a great addition!

It was Dillon Gabriel the QB at UCF when Huepel left. Said something about Huepel not saying goodbye or a phone call. Gabriel left UCF for Oklahoma and I'm sure he didn't call every single teammate and say goodbye.

That's right. Dillon Gabriel.

Great addition for us!

He really loves and respects our HC and he will coach like our HC teaches and trains him to coach.

He's already been a serious student of the game so he knows the X's and O's really well already.

As our other coaches get poached away from us this kid will move up and become our OC in time.

He couldn't get a better place to start to learn for his coaching career.

VFL...GBO!!!

I’ll bet Joe is excited to have his brother in the QB room.

Before his devastating knee injury at CF, he was arguably the best QB in the nation. Dude was off the chain good.

Milton and Milton!

Milton squared is our offense this fall! Can’t wait

Wasn't there a really big deal made about negative comments made by UCF players when Heupel left? Am I making that up? I remember thinking it sounded like sour grapes.

No player is usually overjoyed when a good coach leaves for elsewhere

This is what he tweeted 2 days after Heupel left UCF:

This has been the best two days since I’ve been on campus! UCF is a special place. Tomorrow is gonna be a great day!

Of course, at this point I couldn't care less about his opinion.

Led his team to 23 straight victories !! Yeah I’d say he’s off the chain and then some. 👍

Welcome aboard, So much for being a QB whisperer when you have to put one of yours on staff rather than in the NFL,

This has to be a joke right? He was one of the best players in the country before his injury, he almost lost his leg and doctors were not sure he was ever going to walk again IF he kept it. Doctors told him over 50 percent of patients with his injury have to have amputations. It has nothing to do with scheme or talent, it was a freak injury. That's why he isn't in the NFL. If it wasn't for the injury he would have been a first round pick.

One of the ugliest injuries I was ever watching live.

Prothro breaking his leg… Alabama WR… it was nasty… made me want to throw up

 

[tennesseeduke]

Milton and Milton!

My brother Milton and my other brother Milton!

Marcus Lattimore, McKenzie Milton, Prothro. top 3!

Marcus Lattimore, McKenzie Milton, Prothro. top 3!

That Joe Theismann one back in the day was pretty brutal also.

I was barely old enough to even understand the concept of football when I saw that Monday night game with my dad and even then knew immediately what I just saw was not good.
