  McKenzie Milton was tired, fatigued and, given the import of the occasion, maybe, a little jubilant, too. For the first time in the 15 months since the University of Central Florida quarterback was carted off the field on a stretcher in the final regular-season game of the Knights' 2018 football season, Milton was jogging again. "It was hard, I got tired fast. I definitely hadn't felt that way in a long time, so it was good," he said about a modest jog at the Knights' athletic training facility in Orlando two weeks ago. For the Mililani High graduate, it is a journey best measured not in how far he went that day but in how far he has come since his right leg was left painfully contorted by a hit from a University of South Florida defender.

Back then, as they rushed him to a hospital, there were concerns whether the player who had led the Knights to a 23-game winning streak would even be able to keep his right leg from amputation, much less jog unaided again after suffering torn ligaments, a dislocated knee, a severed artery and nerve damage. But there he was Wednesday on Twitter in a brace, planting on the surgically repaired right leg and flinging passes on the practice field to a distant receiver again, an exercise once routine but now celebrated as a hard-earned milestone. "It felt good, the muscle memory was coming back fairly quickly," Milton said. It was the lower half of the body that took some time to get reacquainted. - Honolulu Advertiser
