Great article; thanks for sharing!

Love this kid's attitude and was very impressed with how eager he was to come to Gainesville; I recall seeing Trey at one of the pre-season spring practices last year. He was even doing his part to assist in the recruiting process as well.

Like Danny Wuerffel and Tim Tebow before him, Trey Burton also has a strong Christian faith - another positive to go along with his football talent.

Franz Beard's also impressed with Trey: http://florida.247sports.com/Article/Is-there-any-limit-to-what-Trey-Burton-can-do-1581

The funny thing about athletes like Burton and Tebow is that people will always focus on what they lack instead of acknowledging what they have to offer. I'm talking about NFL analysts mostly here. The same analysts that said Jamarcus Russell and Matt Leinart were NFL guarantees.

Saw this on Twitter; Tim Tebow's proud of Trey:

Tebow watched UF freshman Trey Burton's 6-TD performance for the Gators Saturday -- broke TT's school TD record. "I loved it," Tebow said.

except for shartage greatness theres not much similarity between TT and TB imo

i hope trey gets to start running options and shovel passes

remeber that 75 yder he broke in the spiing game?

I see bright things in Burton's future. I love the kid, and he has gotten the rest of the family interested in watching games with me.
