Ben Hill Griffin Stadium

The Florida Gators represent the University of Florida in the NCAA Division I as part of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The team plays all their home games in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville that is best known as “The Swamp”.

From humble origins in 1906, the team has played hard to represent their university. But things became fierce after the team took on the “Gators” nickname in 1911. They began playing in the then newly constructed Florida Field in 1930 and joined the SEC as one of its founding members in 1932. The team has since found fast success on the field, including their 1928 season that ended 8-1 and led the nation in scoring.

The Florida Gators have tallied up an impressive record since the program first took the field. With a win record of 745-424-40 (.633), the team has certainly earned fame for intense football action.
This record includes a .522 percent Bowl game record (24-22), 3 claimed national titles (1996, 2006, 2008), 8 conference titles (1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2006, 2008), and 15 Division Titles (1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2020).

But you can’t talk about the team’s records and achievements without recognizing some of the star players and coaches that have worn the team colors. This includes 13 players and coaches associated with Florida that have ended up in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Besides those legends, here are just a few of the individual honors and awards players have received.
