    Special thanks to Montrell for a great Gator career.

    Not sure if he was hurt after he was on the initial kickoff team. Anyone have any news?

    Before the game they said he was limited to Special Teams due to an ankle injury. Probably a precaution not to ruin his draft stock and let the young guys play

    How refreshing that this young man would play for HIS team in their bowl game. That says a ton about him as a person. I hope that GM’s on the next level take notice of his commitment level. Thank you Montrell, you are a Gator for life!

    Certainly great to see these players who didn’t even start at Florida but once they get here they’re as all-in as it gets.

    Dude did not start his career as a Gator but certainly ended it as a Gator. Will always appreciate him.

    Yep, this what used to happen to NFL-bound guys before they started opting out completely. A short appearance, then a quiet fading into the sideline for the rest of the game. Announcers always talked about how bowl games were great for the young players, but, this is what was really happening.

    Agreed. UF's business school is tough, and well respected.
