Anyone know if this was a recent injury or if this was during the season and the reason for his drop-off the second half of the season?

GAINESVILLE -- Florida kick return specialist Brandon James, who will be a senior in the fall, underwent surgery for a fractured bone in his right foot on Monday and will miss spring drills.

He is also tied for the school record for career punt returns for touchdowns with four, a total that ranks third all-time in the SEC. James is fifth all-time in SEC history in total kick return yards, including kickoffs and punt returns, with 3,089 yards.
James played in all 14 games on the national title team with four starts at running back and was named All-American by the Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and Phil Steele and received honorable mention All-American honors from Pro Football Weekly.
