No one could forget the quarterbacks who came before Mikey Gonzalez at Gainesville High. But more importantly for the Red Elephants this season, their senior signal-caller realized being himself was more important than trying to fill someone else’s shoes. Following on the heels of Clemson freshman starter Deshaun Watson’s four seasons as Gainesville quarterback and two years prior to that Alabama fifth-year senior starter Blake Sims manned the same position, Gonzalez has put his own mark on the Gainesville offense this season.
