Florida is making noise with one of the nation’s top defensive linemen. 👀🐊

He’s connecting with Gerald Chatman and Brad White, and the Gators are among the programs standing out most.

“The offer itself is a blessing. It’s a big-time program.”

Florida’s 2007 offense was fun to watch

[Gator Analytics @gatadata88]

On this day in 2007, #14 Florida defeated #8 Kentucky 45–37 in Lexington.

Tim Tebow threw 4 TDs, including the famous jump pass, and added another on the ground. Percy Harvin broke loose for a 24-yard TD run in the 4th quarter.

Just another Saturday in Tebow’s Heisman-winning season.

How one play in a blowout loss helped spark Ty Jackson's breakout performance at Texas.

Jon Sumrall and the defensive staff gave him more snaps after his effort on special teams.

“That’s somebody who can change the game,” Myles Graham said of Ty.
