Just over two years since he collapsed during a game, Keyontae Johnson is set to face his former team, the Florida Gators. “There is no ill will or hate for them,' the now-Kansas State star said. 'I’m still a Gator for life.”
It was a bittersweet Senior Day ending to Johnson’s basketball career. Or so most of us thought.
If you’re a Florida fan, you can’t help wondering why God gave him a second chance, but the Gators wouldn’t. It’s not as if Todd Golden couldn’t use a 6-foot-6 bruiser with NBA skills.

Some gave Johnson the green light to resume playing. That simply wasn’t going to happen in Gainesville.“It was very tough,” Johnson said, “but they just had to do what was best for them medically and what they felt was safe for me. There is no ill will or hate for them. I’m still a Gator for life.”if he’d never played again.
