PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Former Florida football standout Trey Burton was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame as part of the 2025 class in a ceremony to be held at the Bradenton Area Convention Center on Wednesday night.
The Gators now have 50 members represented in the Florida Sports Hall of Fame.
Burton was joined in the 2025 class along with Lonni Alameda, Mike Alstott, Ricky Carmichael, Jim Leyland, Clyde Metcalf and Dave Willis.
Born in Venice, 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 football teams from 2010 to 2013.
Originally recruited as a quarterback in Meyer's spread offense, he played several positions for the Gators, including wide 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. In 50 career games with Florida, he had 720 rushing yards, 976 receiving yards and 20 total touchdowns.
He was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2014 and won Super Bowl LII with the team in his final season — helping execute the Philly Special. Burton also played for the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts.
