Gator Feleipe Franks’ former coach confident QB will win over UF fans

GAINESVILLE — Scott Klees is quick to admit he is biased about his former quarterback, Feleipe Franks.

Klees knows some Florida Gators’ fans probably are, too, after Franks’ 2016 spring game.

Klees, who coached Franks for four seasons at Wakulla High School in Crawfordville, believes the 19-year-old will bring playmaking and stability to the quarterback position at UF.

Fans know only what they saw during last April’s Orange and Blue Debut. Franks threw three interceptions on his first four pass attempts during one of the more cringe-worthy spring game performances in recent memory.

“You can’t judge him from that,” Klees said.
