Gator Walk: Florida Gators vs. New Mexico State

Football season is here and hundred of fans lined the streets on University Boulevard to greet the Florida Gators as they went through Gator Walk on Saturday night.

The Jim McElwain era will begin when Florida hosts the New Mexico State Aggies to kick off the 2015 season, but before toe meets leather, Gator Country was there to capture the action and emotion of the first Gator Walk of the McElwain era.

Nick de la Torre
A South Florida native, Nick developed a passion for all things sports at a very young age. His love for baseball was solidified when he saw Al Leiter’s no-hitter for the Marlins live in May of 1996. He was able to play baseball in college but quickly realized there isn’t much of a market for short, slow outfielders that hit around the Mendoza line. Wanting to continue with sports in some capacity he studied journalism at the University of Central Florida. Nick got his first start in the business as an intern for a website covering all things related to the NFL draft before spending two seasons covering the Florida football team at Bleacher Report. That job led him to GatorCountry. When he isn’t covering Gator sports, Nick enjoys hitting way too many shots on the golf course, attempting to keep up with his favorite t.v. shows and watching the Heat, Dolphins and Marlins.
