ShareBlakely to undergo surgery
Freshman running back Mike Blakely will undergo shoulder surgery on Wednesday. Blakely, who just enrolled in classes on Jan. 10, will miss spring practices but is expected to back for the fall.
The 5-foot-9, 194-pound Blakely missed a portion of his senior season with a foot injury and played through the shoulder injury during a portion of the season.
Blakely is expected to be the lone running back in the 2011 class. He is ranked as the No. 6 running back in the country according to ESPNU and the No. 69th player overall.
Florida will enter spring with only Mike Gillislee, Chris Rainey, and Mack Brown at running back. Jeff Demps is expected to miss spring football because of track.
The extent of his shoulder injury is unknown.

What happen to Brown?
Sigh...here we go again...(see: Debose, Andre)...see you in 2012, Blakely....
sounds to me it is not a major injury, possibly more painful than major injury. He would not be returning in the fall for this great upcoming 2011 season, although the extent of the shoulder injury might not be known, I still believe that it is not a major issue.
