Instead, Demps will remain in Gainesville, FL, and concentrate on re-conditioning his body with director of strength and conditioning Mickey Marotti for the football season, according to the Orlando Sentinel’s Andrea Adelson."

Wow, that's one admirable sacrifice right there. Trade in a shot at having fair odds to walk away a personal champion to spend more time in Gainesville putting in thankless hours strength training and conditioning for the football season. I'd have to imagine that the "fastest man in college" just earned quite a few points in Urban Meyer's book. Hopefully this level of dedication to football rubs off on some of his team mates over the course of the summer.
