The Florida Sports Hall of Fame announced former Florida Gators football star Trey Burton as a member of the 2025 induction class on Friday.
Headlined by Super Bowl-winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers Mike Alstott and World Series-winning Florida Marlins manager Jim Leyland, the seven-member 2025 Florida Sports Hall of Fame class will be inducted in a ceremony to be held at the Bradenton Area Convention Center in November.
“We are excited to be able to recognize such a talented and accomplished class who have all contributed tremendously to their respective sports,” said board Chair Keyna Cory. “Their contributions to their sports and their communities make this a remarkable class. We are honored to welcome them as the newest members of the Florida Sports Hall of Fame.”
Burton is the 50th Florida Gator across all sports to enter the Hall of Fame. He was recruited by Urban Meyer as a quarterback but played several positions for the Gators, including wide receiver, tight end and fullback. Burton broke Tim Tebow’s team record for touchdowns in a single game with six against the Kentucky Wildcats on Sept. 25, 2010, most coming out of the wildcat formation.
After his freshman year, he turned into a versatile threat in a true “athlete” role. He had 720 rushing yards, 976 receiving yards and 20 total touchdowns in 50 career games with Florida. The Philadelphia Eagles signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and won Super Bowl LII with him in 2018.
