Last season, during the third quarter of Florida’s loss to Florida State, Jordan Sherit’s knee gave out.
The Gators had two games left on their schedule — an SEC title game against top-ranked Alabama and a bowl game against Iowa — and Sherit couldn’t play in either of them. He had to go through rehabilation.
That rehab continued into the spring, where he stood on the sideline of Florida’s practice fields and could only look on, watching his teammates run drills. Sherit remembers wondering when — and if — he would play again.
