The Florida Gators got good news from quarterback Tim Tebow and star linebacker Brandon Spikes, but for the 2009 season, the Gators will have to do without their best playmaker. Percy Harvin announced today that he will leave the University of Florida and forgo his senior season for the NFL.

“Percy is the most dynamic player I’ve ever coached and can change the game on any given play,” said Meyer. “He has the best first step I’ve ever seen and his ability to plant his foot and go is unmatched. Percy is a relentless competitor who wants to win. We wish him the best of luck and we look forward to having him around our program. He will always be a part of our Gator football family.”

Harvin finishes his career as one of the most prolific offensive threats in school history. He totaled 133 catches for 1,929 yards and 13 touchdowns, while rushing the ball 194 times for 1,852 yards with 19 touchdowns. His 32 career touchdowns is the most ever by a UF wide receiver. He averaged an astounding 9.5 yards per carry and averaged 11.6 yards ever time he touched the ball. He is the only player in UF history to rush for 100 yards and have 100 yards receiving in the same game (Vanderbilt, 2007). Harvin was the MVP of the 2006 Southeastern Conference Championship Game as a true freshman.

In the coming months, this website will transform into a new design that reflects Percy’s career as an NFL player. No matter what team he lands on, we will follow him.

Best of luck Percy!
