College Player Watch: John Brantley


John Brantley could have started at quarterback anywhere else for the last two years. Problem was, he was on the same depth chart as Tim Tebow. But Brantley always wanted to be a Florida Gator, as both his father and brother attended UF. Brantley might not have the inspiring words of Tebow, but something he does have that Tebow lacked is a pocket presence.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 218-pound Brantley has the pro-style arm that Tebow was without but still has the ability to make the occasional play on the ground. Brantley is unproven, and it will be a tough task taking over for one of the most accomplished players in the history of college football. Brantley finished his high school career with a FHSAA record 99 career touchdown passes, one more than the aforementioned Tebow.
