Description

Gators love their Tebow. This is one of a trio of statues found outside Ben Hill Griffen Stadium at the University of Florida (Gainesville FL) honoring the football team's three Heisman Trophy winners. The Gators unveiled bronze statues of Spurrier (1966), Wuerffel (1996) and Tebow (2007). The thing that stood out was Tebow's depiction. "That's fine," Tebow said. "You have to change it up. We can't all be throwing.". One of college football's greatest players, Tebow had 32 touchdown passes in 2007 and ran for 23 more. He became the first player to score at least 20 touchdowns rushing and passing, then became the first sophomore to win the Heisman. The statues, which weigh between 1,700 and 2,000 pounds, were placed on the west side of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium near the skybox entrance. They were paid for by private donations. This is a companion piece to the photo entitled "Danny Wuerffel" on my site.
