UCF star QB McKenzie Milton suffered a significant knee injury on Friday against USF, ending up in the hospital for emergency surgery.
According to ESPN, Milton has not yet been cleared to leave the hospital, but is recovering after the surgery.
Per Milton’s teammate, Jordan Johnson, the star quarterback is walking again for the first time since the injury:
“I called him to see how he was doing, and he was letting us know that he’s there for us,” Johnson said. “He wants to see us succeed, so we’re out there playing for McKenzie. We want to go out there and win for him. It was all good vibes. I told him it was good to see him smiling. He said that he got to walk the other day, and he never appreciated walking as much.”
There’s no timetable for Milton’s return, but he still faces a significant rehab process moving forward.
Meanwhile, UCF is preparing for the AAC Championship Game this weekend against Memphis — a game that will be much tougher without Milton in the lineup.
