The recovery from one of the most brutal injuries you’ll see on the football field is going better than expected.
Speaking to ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday, UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton provided an update on his rehab from the devastating leg injury he suffered in a game against USF last season and everybody around the program has to be delighted to hear that he’s nearly fully recovered from any nerve damage in his leg.

“With my nerve damage, I’m basically back to 100%. I have full feeling in my foot. You know that’s very rare, sometimes it never comes back for some people and the artery, the blood is flowing great,” Milton said. “So now it’s just about getting range of motion and building strength back up.”
Absolutely awesome to hear and it only adds to the hope that Milton can return to the field at some point next year for the Knights.
As for the upcoming 2019 campaign, his UCF squad will open in Week 1 against Florida A&M with Notre Dame transfer Brandon Wimbush starting in Milton’s place at quarterback.
