Danny Wuerffel was one of three Heisman winners produced by the University of Florida to be honored with the unveiling of statues during UF’s spring game. Unfortunately, it appears that the former Gator quarterback’s health has taken an unexpected turn for the worse. The Gainesville Sun is confirming message board rumors that surfaced earlier Wednesday, that Wuerffel has been hospitalized and is currently undergoing treatment for Guillain-Barré syndrome.
The 37-year-old Wuerffel played for the Gators from 1993-1996, setting numerous school passing records under then-head coach Steve Spurrier. UF won SEC titles in each of his four years at the school, and Wuerffel was awarded the 1996 Heisman Trophy as a senior.
