Tim Tebow, Billy Donovan Among Stars Announced for 2020 Florida Hall of Fame
An impressive college football career has earned Tim Tebow induction to the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame:
Tebow headlines the nine-person 2020 class that was announced Monday.
The full class includes Andrew DeClercq (basketball), Shaune Fraser (men's swimming and diving), Brandon James (football), Mariam Kevkhishvili (track and field), Hamid Mirzadeh (tennis), Brandon Spikes (football), Gemma Spofforth (swimming) and Billy Donovan (basketball).
Eight of the entrees have been deemed Gator Greats by the university's F Club, while Donovan is considered an honorary letterwinner after coaching the men's basketball team from 1996-2015.
Donovan is the most successful coach in the program's history, leading the Gators to back-to-back national championships in 2006 and '07 behind stars like Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Corey Brewer.
Not only were these the only titles the men's basketball team ever earned, but Donovan also led Florida to four of its five all-time Final Fours.
DeClercq was a key player on the other Final Four team in 1994, earning his way into the class.
Still, Tebow is the most notable member of the class during a college football career that included two national championships and a Heisman Trophy in 2007 as a sophomore. He was a finalist three times for the top individual award in the sport.
The quarterback finished his four-year career with 88 passing touchdowns and 57 rushing touchdowns before becoming a first-round pick in the NFL draft.
In January, ESPN listed Tebow as the No. 76 college football player of all time, second among Gators behind only running back Emmitt Smith at No. 70.
