Florida forward Keyontae Johnson, who collapsed during a Gators basketball game on Dec. 12, announced he will return for his senior season with the program.
In his announcement, Johnson said he was thankful for the prayers and concerns he received over the last four months. It is extremely touching and very much appreciated to have the support of Gator Nation and the world standing by my side. Johnson said. I am progressing and steadily making progress daily in my health. I am patiently waiting on medical clearance.

Online degrees at UF offer flexibility, authentic Gator Nation experience
When officials at the University of Florida set out to build an online platform where students could receive an education that was of the same caliber and quality that is expected of UF, they stared at an empty drawing board.
It was 2013, and at the time, most online universities were for profit. Other public universities offered online programs, but they were not as in depth or their name simply did not carry the weight of the flagship university of the state of Florida.
Now, interest in receiving an education online from UF has grown in recent years. The key to UF’s success with its online programs, officials say, is that they are no different in terms of quality and rigor as in-person classes.

Florida Gators wing Scottie Lewis will hire an agent and enter the 2021 NBA Draft, he announced Thursday with a post originally shared on Instagram.
Lewis came to Gainesville as a consensus top-10 recruit and a potential lottery pick in 2019, but two seasons of uneven offense have left him as a player who will need to impress scouts if he is going to be drafted at all.
Lewis possesses astonishing athleticism as fleet of foot as any Gator ever, and blessed with spring-loaded legs, Lewis also went viral multiple times for showing off his flexibility by performing a kip-up when rising from the floor and is regarded as a very good defender, but his inability to become a great defender is unlikely to hurt his NBA Draft stock as much as those offensive struggles will.
