Wuerffel encouraged by what he’s seen from program

Gator Great and 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel has had the chance to hang around the program and speak to the players several times since Billy Napier took over in December. Most recently, he watched the Gators practice on Saturday. Afterward, he had a lengthy conversation with Napier inside the Indoor Practice Facility.

It’s only been about four months, but Wuerffel is pleased with what he’s seen from the new regime so far.

“I’ve been very encouraged at so many of the things that I’ve seen,” Wuerffel said. “The sheer number of quality people that are part of this program now, from all the coaches to the people doing all sorts of other aspects of it – the GatorMade program, Katie Turner and the team and Bri [Wade] and what they’re doing with recruiting – it’s really remarkable.
