Episode 3 of The 35 — WRUF 98.1’s summer countdown of the greatest athletes in University of Florida history — airs live this Thursday at 2 p.m. Five more names get revealed. Five more arguments start.
This week’s tier is The Standard Setters — No. 25 through No. 21. These are the Gators who didn’t just perform at a high level, they changed what Florida athletics looked like for everyone who came after them. A near-Heisman quarterback. A College Football Hall of Famer whose records have stood for more than 50 years. A two-time national champion who was genuinely unguardable. A PGA Tour champion still competing at the highest level in the game today.
You’ll find out who they are Thursday at 2 PM.
The Greatest Gators Moments Bracket also gets its third quadrant revealed Thursday at 2 p.m. Two new matchups go live. Voting opens immediately and closes the following Thursday at 1:59 p.m. Results from Week 2 — the 2006 Men’s Basketball Title vs. Softball Back-to-Back, and Tebow’s Promise Speech vs. the 2025 Men’s Basketball Title — will be announced live on air.
