Florida punter Chas Henry to become No. 3 quarterback

While Cameron Newton is embroiled in legal troubles, punter Chas Henry and WR/RB Percy Harvin will step in as the Gators' No. 3 quarterback, if necessary.

Henry, a former high school quarterback, is already working with the other quarterbacks, and Harvin is working it in, along with his other duties.

"Chas Henry will move over to quarterback and Percy Harvin will be the other quarterback,'' UF coach Urban Meyer said. "We started that already. Chas is meeting with the quarterbacks full time now, and Percy, yesterday at practice we took some direct snaps with him.''

John Brantley has been the Gators' primary backup to Tim Tebow this season, having seen action in all eight games.
