Feleipe Franks has emotional postgame moment with former Florida teammates, Dan Mullen
Florida fans booed former Feleipe Franks in his return to The Swamp, but it was all love after the game as Gators players and coaches reunited with the former UF quarterback.
The official Twitter account of Florida football called Franks “Gator family,” sharing photos of hugs with Dan Mullen and Kyle Trask.

As you can see in the photo and video below, they were just two of the many Gators who took time to talk to Franks after Saturday night’s game.

Franks was an impressive 15-of-19 passing for 250 yards and 2 touchdowns but was outshined by his 2016 classmate, Kyle Trask. The Florida redshirt senior boosted his Heisman Trophy campaign with an eye-popping 6 TD passes, going 23-of-259 for 356 yards in the Gators’ 63-35 win over Franks’ Arkansas Razorbacks.
Franks signed with UF in 2016, redshirting his first year on campus. He played in 28 games for the Gators over 3 seasons (2017-19) before departing as a graduate transfer.
23 of 259 lol
The comeback he lead against USC will always be my favorite memory of Frank’s followed by the bomb against UT. He had some great moments for us.
Was happy to see Frank’s getting the respect of his former teammates.
I hope our fans were just doing a general boo for Arky just like we do for all opposing teams.
I don’t think so, man. There’s a lot of people who never liked Franks. He had it rough here. I’m glad he’s doing well in Arkansas.
Great kid, played his heart out and wears his heart on his sleeve:
Loved:
Heave to Cleve
Beating Burrow and LSU
Michigan at Peach bowl
Scar comeback – The quiet game
Tamu qb run
It was frustrating as he would often play without consistency. Ex: great deep ball throw getting the ball in the redzone, then throw a pick in the endzone. He would panic at times and take off and try to make a play or force the ball and get it picked off.
He played great between the 20’s and then you would just hold your breath with any pass in the opponent’s redzone or your own end.
Let me tell ya…after Mr. Classyshush Franks threw that beautiful 47 yard TD dime to Woods then turned to the Gatorbaitor bench and pointed at them….while the rival in me couldn’t make me “HOPE” the G8rs won I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed the Franks beat down…
For the record I’m gonna change my unofficial Heisman vote to Malik 1 with Jones 2…and Trask leapfrogging Pitts for t3 with, oh this hurts, Fields…great win again boyz.
Malik who? Popular name and no particular one stands out. And Fields? Is the Big 10 playing football?
Malik Willis of 1800 passing 700 rushing 15 TDS 1 int fame of course, Liberty, Liberty…..liberrrrty. His team is unbeaten btw.
Speaking of which , wtf up with Kirby catching so much deserved heat for his handling of the Fields fiasco yet GusBus the offensive genius is given a pass with Malik…what up with that?
No question Freeze knows how to score points but Liberty’s “quality” wins are Syracuse and Virginia Tech.
There’s no parallel between a top two recruit on a national championship contender and a dynamic kid playing Liberty’s schedule.
That said, Malzahn and Muschamp routinely catch so much heat that their poor performance doesn’t make news. That, and Auburn is trending up at the moment.
If they beat NC State next week I’ll have to disagree, humbly of course (:
If they don’t I’ll have to change my number 1 vote to the BYU horse
The Heisman isn’t restricted to east of the Mississippi anymore is it? Trask is from Texas
Nope. Winners from USC, Oregon, Oklahoma and Texas.
Well being a fan of a team with George Pickens and talking about class is awesome. This is coming from someone whose son is a UGA freshman. All of these players talk trash, all of the time
Thank you Gators for having class and understanding the situation
For the record I feel the same way about Pickens…and Shi Smith tops them all on the classless ghettoacting thug list…
