When Gators fans last saw Justin Shorter, he was lying motionless on the field at Raymond James Stadium after taking a vicious hit over the middle of the field in the closing minutes of the Gasparilla Bowl.
While that injury fortunately ended up not being significant, it was a painful and shocking conclusion to a disappointing and frustrating season for both Shorter and his team.
While Shorter finished second on the team in receiving last season, he did so with just 41 catches for 550 yards and three touchdowns. Those are decent numbers, but they’re nothing special.
