Just a two-year starter for the Gators --- Named 2nd Team All-SEC as a senior --- Selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 15th round of the 2006 MLB Draft but opted to play both sports at Florida --- Selected in the 25th round of the 2009 MLB Draft and signed a $250,000 contract with Texas --- Actually played minor league baseball in the Rangers organization during the Summer of 2009, hitting .247 with two home runs, eight RBIs and three stolen bases in 30 games while striking out 41 times in 89 at-bats --- Battled a number of ailments (arm, knee, finger, foot, hip) during his high school and college careers --- Was stuck behind future pros like Andre Caldwell, Dallas Baker, Jemalle Cornelius, Louis Murphy and Percy Harvin early in his career --- Really emerged as a senior, leading the Gators in receiving and giving his NFL Draft stock a huge boost --- Extremely intriguing prospect with a lot of talent who could thrive if he ever devotes his full attention to football.
