GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida receiver Andre Debose had surgery to repair a torn hamstring tendon in his left thigh.

Debose had surgery Thursday at Shands Florida Surgical Center. He is expected to fully recover in four to six months, making it possible for him to return for spring practice.
Debose, a 5-foot-11 speedster from the Orlando area, was coach Urban Meyer’s prized recruit in February. Meyer tabbed him as Percy Harvin’s replacement this fall.
But Debose injured his hamstring at the Florida state high school track meet in April, tweaked it during summer workouts and then hurt it again on the first day of fall practice. Team doctors initially thought it was just a pulled muscle, but tests later revealed a tear.
