College Football Hall of Fame Members
The following three former Florida Gators football coaches and seven former players are members of the College Football Hall of Fame:
| Name | Position | UF Years | Inducted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carlos Alvarez | Wide receiver | 1969–1971 | 2011 |
| Charlie Bachman | Coach | 1928–1932 | 1978 |
| Doug Dickey | Coach | 1970–1978 | 2003 |
| Ray Graves | Coach | 1960–1969 | 1990 |
| Marcelino Huerta | Coach | 1947–1949 | 2002 |
| Wilber Marshall | Linebacker | 1980–1983 | 2008 |
| Emmitt Smith | Running back | 1987–1989 | 2006 |
| Steve Spurrier | Quarterback | 1963–1966 | 1986 |
| Dale Van Sickel | End | 1927–1929 | 1975 |
| Jack Youngblood | Defensive end | 1967–1970 | 1992 |
Doug Dickey was also the Gators' quarterback from 1951 to 1952, but was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2003 for his record as the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers from 1964 to 1969 and the Florida Gators from 1970 to 1978. Steve Spurrier was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1986 for his record as the Gators' Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from 1964 to 1966. Spurrier was also the Gators' head coach from 1990 to 2001, and his career coaching record far exceeds the Hall of Fame's minimum requirements, but he is still an active coach and is not eligible for induction as a coach until he retires. Marcelino Huerta was a standout lineman for the Gators from 1947 to 1949, but was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002 for his record as the head coach of the Tampa Spartans, Wichita State Shockers and Parson Wildcats.

“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“Chipmunks jump, and
Greensnakes slither.
Rather burst than
Not be with her.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“Fair nymph, if fame or honour were
To be attained with ease,
Then would I come and rest me there,”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.”
—Claire Berman (20th century)
