Florida started its 2025 campaign on fire. It opened the year 11-0 and entered conference play as the No. 7 team in the country with a 16-2 record.

The Florida panther, native to southwest Florida and a keystone species in its ecosystem, has been critically endangered since 1973.

“Go Gators” may not have been the sound that the Music City expected on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but that’s just what it got. Continuing its recent streak of dominance, Florida men’s tennis (11-7, 6-3 SEC) headed northeast to take on Vanderbilt (8-11, 1-8 SEC). The Gators ended up sweeping the Commodores 4-0 for their third-straight conference win by three or more points.
When Trevor Wayne first picked up his worn-out copy of S.E. Hinton’s novel “The Outsiders” in seventh grade and began to read the opening lines, it became more than just an assignment.

He saw himself in the characters who came to life before him, both Greasers and Socs alike.
RALEIGH, N.C. -- To be the champs, you have to defeat the champs.

Florida women’s swim and dive touched down in Federal Way, Washington, to compete in the 2025 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship.

After months of intense training, countless hours in the pool and the pressure of concluding a long season, 14 Gators came together to battle for top spots on the leaderboard.
The Huskies have more experience in the snow than the Gators. Since head coach Dan Hurley arrived in Storrs, Connecticut, his squad has watched the spattered sky six times as the confetti fell.
