The University of Florida will unveil three statues outside of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at halftime of the the Orange & Blue Debut presented by Scotts, on Saturday, featuring the school’s three Heisman winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996) and Tim Tebow (2007).
The life-sized statues will be installed on the west side of the stadium near the skybox entrance, and the unveiling will be shown on Florida’s scoreboards inside the stadium. At halftime, a brief video introduction will be played followed by the live unveiling of the statues. All three honorees will have a level of participation in the event.
The statues weigh a between 1,700-2,000 pounds combined and were sculpted by Sandy Proctor. They were provided to the University of Florida through private donations.
