Travis comes quickly to mind. With some research there are others going back several decades.

The Hurricanes won 14-9 over the Bobcats. By Edward Aschoff Gainesville SUN Staff writer Published: Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 3:46 p.m. Last Modified: Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 3:46 p.m. Overshadowed by the National Signing Day festivities, Florida has added a little help to its quarterback position. Wednesday, Gainesville quarterback Ryan McGriff decided he will attend the University of Florida as a preferred walk-on after having an extensive meeting with new Florida coach Will Muschamp and offensive coordinator Charlie Weis over the weekend. McGriff garnered interest from South Carolina and received offers from Ohio and Football Championship Subdivision schools like Elon, Murray State and Wofford. In the end, McGriff said Florida's academics were "the biggest thing" that drew him to Florida and the chance to follow his father, Mark McGriff, and, grandfather Perry McGriff Jr., who suited up for the Gators, was too much to pass up. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
