GAINESVILLE — UF receiver Rick Wells skipped into the end zone demonstrating an athlete’s agility and a survivor’s spirit.
Wells followed his 9-yard score last Saturday night against FAU with a leap in the air and into his teammates’ arms. Those six points had been six years in the making for the 23-year-old.
“It’s been a long road,” Wells said. “But I feel like it’s been a great one.”
Wells’ path to pay dirt in the south end of the Swamp had not been a smooth one.
