GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Feleipe Franks already has lifelong memories from the Swamp.
The former Gators quarterback completed a 63-yard touchdown pass to Tyrie Cleveland on the final play to beat rival Tennessee in 2017, his first start at Florida Field. He recorded the longest run by a quarterback in school history a month later, a 79-yard scamper against Texas A&M.
He was on the receiving end of a trick play that helped Florida knock off then-No. 5 LSU in 2018, the biggest win in coach Dan Mullen’s first season. He shushed the home crowd twice following rushing touchdowns later that year, including the go-ahead score with 4:09 remaining, as the Gators rallied from a 17-point deficit to stun South Carolina 35-31.
