  UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton took another step in his recovery when he suited up in shoulder pads and participated in a practice Tuesday. While it's still unclear when Milton might be ready to take a snap during a football game, his perseverance and positive attitude throughout the multi-year recovery process has been an inspiration for his teammates and coaches. "McKenzie Milton is like a bright sun on a gloomy day," UCF co-offensive coordinator Alex Golesh said. "KZ is literally the heartbeat of our offense." Milton has spent the past 22 months recovering from a horrific knee injury he suffered during the Knights' 2018 regular-season finale against USF at Raymond James Stadium. He was transported to Tampa General Hospital, where he underwent surgery to repair damaged nerves and restore blood flow to his lower right leg. The injury nearly forced doctors to amputate his leg.

He went through multiple surgeries and countless hours of rehabilitation before getting clearance from his doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in August to return to practice. "When he started practicing with us, you look over and he's got a smile and balls are zipping everywhere," added Golesh, who joined the UCF coaching staff in December following a stint at Iowa State. "There's a sense of excitement among everyone on the offense. I know for me, seeing him play from afar and now being around him, to see him out there is incredible and humbling in ways because a lot of people said he shouldn't be out there or couldn't be out there. "It's a credit to him on his perseverance and drive to be able to get back." - Orlando Sentinel
