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.
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.
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.
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.
