JACKSONVILLE - Redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks ended the spring as Florida’s No.1 quarterback and is considered the presumptive starter heading into the season.

But don’t count out the former starter in the upcoming QB competition.

UF coach Jim McElwain said it would be mistake to dismiss Luke Del Rio if he makes a healthy recovery this summer from surgery on both of his shoulders.

“Yeah, for sure (it would be a mistake),” McElwain said Tuesday night before speaking at the Gator Club of Jacksonville.
