Next stop for my @SportsCJC class: final-round U.S. Open qualifier in Jupiter, Florida. We’re following three @GatorsGolf alums trying to get into the field, including 2023 national champion Fred Biondi.
Before my @SportsCJC students head to the U.S. Open in a few weeks, they've been covering @GatorsGolf team this week as it prepares for the national championships. Some of their stories:
Congrats, Jackson! 🐊
Solid opportunity 🔽
Day 2 of Summer A: Road trip with my @SportsCJC class to cover the U.S. Open local qualifier in Palm Coast, four weeks before our trip to Pinehurst.
Today, I graduated from the best university in the world and said goodbye to my second home.
Thank you @SportsCJC for the best 4 years!
I am overwhelmed with emotions but so confident in the Lord’s plans for me and my life. See you soon, @49ers !!
Congratulations @espngainesville and @sportscjc Grads! 🐊 🎓

Congratulations to Matt on graduating with a degree in Journalism - Sports & Media! Matt has spent the last six semesters broadcasting for the @UFJSchool and the last two with the Orange & Blue Sports Network!
Best of luck, Matt!
I had the pleasure of sitting down with UF basketball commit Olivier Rioux recently to talk about his Guinness-World-Record-setting height, his time at IMG Academy and his future at UF.
Really enjoyed our conversation! Read the story below.
So happy for @ItsJesseSimmons. He did an excellent job putting together his first big feature on Florida freshman pitcher Luke McNeillie’s midseason turnaround.
And thanks to Lee Ann Anderson for the lead photo, too.

Fun story by one of my students, @VanzandtNick
If you have been to a @GatorsBB game at Condron Ballpark, you certainly know the voice. But here is the story of one of Florida baseball’s most passionate fans: 85-year-old Gordon Burleson.
Anna came back with TWO! features, including this one on the rapid rise of the ridiculously fun @TheSavBananas franchise -- the @YellowTuxJesse creation that calls itself the 'Greatest Show in Sports' for good reason.
Sharing more of my @SportsCJC students' great work from this semester.

16 years ago as a freshman at @UF, I walked into the @ESPNGainesville studios and asked if there were any jobs on the radio. @SteveRussell850 (in the first pic) was kind enough to give me a shot. Today I got to sit next to him again to do what we…
