Tebow coming back to Florida for senior season

Fresh off carrying Florida to its second national championship in three years, Gators quarterback Tim Tebow announced on Sunday he will remain in school for his senior season. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner suprised a large crowd celebrating Florida’s 24-14 victory over Oklahoma in the BCS title game on Thursday by saying he will be back in uniform for the Gators next season. – From Kansas City Star

“Let’s do it again. I’m coming back.” Give the man this: he has a sense of his own importance to the college football world and the Florida Gators. Tim Tebow announced Sunday he’s coming back for his senior season, despite thoughts that he was looking to leave early for the NFL after pulling off the national championship win over Oklahoma last Thursday night. While he and his family have made it well known that the NFL is a main goal, and that he was interested in taking off for the pro level early if he was considered a first-round prospect, now he has a chance to go down as the greatest college football player of the modern era (roughly starting at 1970, since that’s when the sport finally became almost fully integrated and the national title was awarded after the bowl games). – From Fox Sports
