Did he get a medical redshirt for one of his years at Florida? Because he played for the Gators in both 2007 and 2008. I assume he must have, but haven't heard for sure. If he didn't get a medical redshirt then how was he able to play JUCO football this year and how would he have 2 years of eligibility remaining?

Yes, it sounds like he did take one of those *cough* medical redshirts *cough*. According to his wiki page, he played in their 2008 opener and then "agreed to take a redshirt season".
