The University of Florida will host their annual Pro Day tomorrow. Percy Harvin will be participating in the drills. For some athletes, Pro Day is as important as the combine. Players are more in their comfort zone and can perform better. You also are not being watched by 500 people, including ESPN cameras. Only the scouts interested in what you have to offer will come visit for the Pro Day.

I’ll be sure to post Percy’s specifics tomorrow at the conclusion of the day. Check back!

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!

The Florida Gators are BCS National Champions! Percy Harvin held nothing back int he Gators 24-14 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners last night. Leading up to the game, I heard reports on the radio saying Percy tweaked his ankle… well, those reports much have been smoke screens because he looked awesome.

“The brighter the lights, the bigger he plays,” Meyer said. “He’s a big-time game performer.”

Harvin finished the game with 9 carries for 122 yards and a touchdown plus 5 receptions for 49 yards. In my opinion he should have won the offensive player of the game. Without Percy playing, the Gators wouldn’t have had a chance. He ran wild on two plays busting one for 45 yards and another for 52 yards. His touchdown came on a 2 yard run in the third quarter.

“There’s no feeling like being a champion,” Harvin said. “I love it. There’s nothing like it.” Congratulations Percy and the Florida Gators. Winning two championships in 3 years is an amazing feat. The hard work put in all season and the intensive rehab paid off.

Percy Harvin was limping around campus in a protective boot. But as scary as that sounds, there is still something to be hopeful for. Meyer is listing Percy Harvin as questionable for the game and not ruling him out.

“The great news in the training room today, it’s very positive, very positive, a lot of thumbs up, including from the player, a big thumbs up, a smile on his face,” Meyer said. “He’s as competitive a human being as I’ve ever been around. He’s doing everything he can possibly do, and our training staff’s the best in college football. That’s all positive.

“The negative is it’s a sprained ankle, and we know what sprained ankles mean. We’re going to boot him and he will not do anything until later in the week.”

ESPN.com brought up an important note from two years ago that I wasn’t even thinking of. Percy got banged up against FSU then and still played in the SEC Championship.

Harvin was in a similar situation two years ago. He was knocked out of the game in Tallahassee after slamming his head into a linebacker’s knee. But he was back on the field the following week in Atlanta and earned most valuable player honors against Arkansas in the league title game.

He ran six times for 105 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 62 yards and a score.

“He plays well in this game,” Meyer said. “He made that very clear to me a couple thousand times in the last two days. I love him.”

I hope Percy has a strong and quick recovery. I know Meyer will only use him if he’s ready to go.

We finally saw some explosion from Percy Harvin in Saturday’s Gator 56-6 victory over the Gamecocks. It wasn’t on the receiving side of the ball, but rushing yards count just as much!

Percy ended the game with 8 carries for 167 yards and 2 touchdowns, plus 1 reception for 6 yards. One of the Percy Harvinrushing touchdowns came on an 80 yard rush. He hit the hole, bounce of a defender then squeezed his way through a few more and it was off to the races. No one on the South Carolina defense could catch him.

Even the Old Ball Coach had good things to say about Percy in the post game interview. “If he was a tailback on somebody else’s team, he’d be a 200-yards-a-game guy,” Spurrier said. You know, he’s probably right!

Percy’s receiving stats were pretty much non existent because the Gators didn’t need to throw the ball. The got up to a big 21-0 lead in the 1st quarter and just set everything on cruise control. The Gator offense is clicking like I’ve never seen before. I’m not sure anyone can stop them.

I’ll be sure to post the highlights from the game later this week.

Percy Harvin didn’t rack up big numbers like we were expecting, but he did score a touchdown to keep his streak alive. Percy has now scored a touchdown in every game he’s played in this season (remember, he missed the opener vs Hawaii). Tebow tried to get him the ball in the air several times in the endzone, but they just couldn’t connect.

Percy ended the game with 9 rushes for 60 yards and a touchdown, plus 3 receptions for 32 yards.

One play that caused some controversy was a Percy Harvin “fumble” on the goal line. The cameras clearly showed that the ball crossed the goal line, but the booth review didn’t overturn the call on the field of a fumble and the ball was given to Vandy. It was so blatantly obvious that the ball was across the goal line and Percy have complete control of it. O-well, at least it wasn’t a game changing play.

With the win, the Gators clinched the SEC East, and with a PSU loss, they’ll probably move up to No. 3 in the BCS.

The Florida vs. Georgia game is one of the biggest rivalries in all of college football and it isn’t called “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” for nothing. Now is the perfect time to order your rivalry gear from Football Fanatics. They have 3-Day shipping for only $4.99 so you’ll be sure to get your item before this weekend’s game. They have 15 Florida vs. Georgia shirts and one figurine.

You won’t want to be in the stands without a rivalry shirt when Percy Harvin scores a winning touchdown against the Dawgs.

This week is homecoming week in Gainesville, Florida. The University of Kentucky is the unlucky opponent (I’ll have a game preview on Friday). Some of the activities this week include the annual Homecoming Parade and Gator Growl on Friday Night.

If you’re thinking about heading to Gainesville for the game, there are still tickets left. It’s going tobe a great atmosphere and you’ll get to see Percy Harvin in action and dominate an SEC opponent.
