In a moment of profound recognition and pride for Gator Nation, Tim Tebow, one of the most beloved figures in college football history, has officially been named to the TIME 100 Most Influential People in Sports list. The prestigious honor celebrates Tebow’s unparalleled impact both on and off the field, cementing his status not just as a football icon, but as a global force of positive influence.
Tebow’s journey began at the University of Florida, where his electric leadership, unmatched drive, and heart-on-sleeve passion carried the Florida Gators to two national championships (2006, 2008) and earned him the Heisman Trophy in 2007, making him the first sophomore to ever win the award. But what set Tebow apart wasn’t just stats or titles—it was his unwavering faith, authenticity, and relentless pursuit of service to others.
Since leaving college football, Tebow has blazed a trail unlike any other athlete. From his time in the NFL and a stint in professional baseball, to his celebrated work as a broadcaster, motivational speaker, and philanthropist, Tebow has remained a beacon of hope, humility, and humanity. Through the Tim Tebow Foundation, he has helped build hospitals, homes for orphans, and championed causes for children with special needs—impacting lives across continents.
TIME 100 cited not just Tebow’s athletic legacy, but his “unmatched ability to uplift, unify, and inspire through sport and service.” Whether delivering fiery speeches in locker rooms or empowering the next generation through Night to Shine and other faith-based initiatives, Tebow has proven that influence transcends the scoreboard.
The honor places him alongside the world’s most powerful sports figures in 2025—and yet, to his fans, teammates, and the countless lives he’s touched, he has always been a champion.
As Gator fans from Gainesville to across the globe celebrate, one thing is clear:
Tim Tebow didn’t just play the game—he changed it. And now, the world has taken notice.
