ALUMNI PLAYER OF THE WEEK - Dec. 10, 2007
Another former Old Spice Red Zone Player of the Year has gone on to achieve great things.
As a sophomore at Florida this season, Tim Tebow (a 2004 honoree) was entrusted to lead the offense for the defending national champion Florida Gators, and he did to the tune of 29 touchdown passes, 22 touchdown runs, and a 9-3 record.
But he will now have something preceding his name that no sophomore ever has: Heisman Trophy Winner.
Tebow (Class of 2004), edged SEC foe Darren McFadden of Arkansas in winning the Heisman Trophy Dec. 8.
“I want to accept this award on behalf of my coaches, teammates and the entire Gator Nation,” Tebow said after winning the award. “This award is more about them than it is for me. I am very proud to represent the University of Florida.”
Tebow becomes the third Florida quarterback to win the Heisman, following Steve Spurrier (1966) and Danny Wuerffel (1996). Florida is also the second school to have three quarterbacks win the Heisman Trophy, joining Notre Dame.
Tebow's tied the NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, and has 30 in 26 games, trailing Emmitt Smith by six touchdowns for the school record for rushing TDs. Tebow led the conference in scoring, total offense and passing efficiency, and his 51 touchdowns were more than 87 teams in the Bowl Subdivision.
WHAT'S HOT IN THE RED ZONE

Gavin Sappier of John Stark Regional High School (Weare, N.H.) fights for the goal line in a recent game against Kennett High School. It’s just another example of great action in the Red Zone! Stark Regional won the game, 35-27.
Former Red Zone honoree Russell is first pick in NFL Draft
Back in 2002, JaMarcus Russell was one of the 50 winners in the Old Spice Red Zone Player of the Year program. This year, Russell became the first overall pick in the NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. Several other former Red Zone honorees were drafted, too. Read the full story!
