Trey Burton inducted into Florida Sports Hall of Fame
Former Florida Gators football standout Trey Burton was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame as part of the 2025 class Wednesday night in Port St. Lucie.
Burton, a native of Venice, Fla., played for the Gators from 2010–2013. He later spent several seasons in the NFL with Philadelphia, Chicago and Indianapolis. Per a UF release, “the Gators now have 50 members represented in the Florida Sports Hall of Fame.”
The Hall of Fame said this about Burton:
“Trey Burton attended Venice High School where he was a standout dual-threat quarterback for the Venice Indians. He received a scholarship to attend the University of Florida, where he played for coach Urban Meyer’s and Will Muschamp’s Florida Gators from 2010 to 2013.
Originally recruited as a quarterback in Meyer’s spread offense. He played several positions for the Gators, including receiver, tight end, fullback and quarterback. As a freshman, he broke Tim Tebow’s team record for touchdowns in a game with six during a 48-14 victory over Kentucky.
He was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2014. There, he won Super Bowl LII with the team in his final season – helping to execute the Philly Special.”
