| UF lineman returns after being shot
Thursday, May 15, 2008
MIAMI — Florida freshman defensive lineman Matt Patchan has resumed individual workouts after being shot last week at a Tampa area park, Gators coach Urban Meyer said.
"He's great and worked out on (Wednesday)," Meyer said.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department is investigating the incident, during which an unknown shooter fired into a crowd at a park in Brandon, hitting Patchan and a former teammate of his at Seffner-Armwood High School.
"It's a different world out there and he was just a bystander and had no involvement at all," Meyer said.
Meyer also said receiver Percy Harvin is recovering well from surgery in April on his right heel.
"He's good," Meyer said. "He is working five days a week and three days a week he's doing rehab. He's at 196 pounds and strong as an ox."
