OnlyGators.com staff

Staff writers: News and analysis found on OnlyGators.com are written by a set of journalists with degrees from the University of Florida who have decided to cover the program out of passionate service to the fan base and a desire to see OnlyGators.com continue after its founder stepped away from the website.

Michael Nash, graphic designer: Nash was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and moved to New Jersey as a youngster but never stopped having an interest in the Gators. Although he did not attend UF, passion for the school combined with his personal interest in graphic design led him to offer his services to OnlyGators.com. His graphics can also be found all across the site.

Former staff and contributors

Adam Allen: A four-year forward with Florida basketball under head coach Billy Donovan, Allen was a four-star recruit who was forced to retire due to multiple knee surgeries. No longer with the team, he joined OnlyGators.com as a basketball columnist in 2011-12 to provide his unique perspective on the team throughout the season in “Allen’s Alley.”

Teddy Foster: A five-year member of the Florida baseball team playing under head coaches Pat McMahon and Kevin O’Sullivan, Foster joined OnlyGators.com in 2012-13 as a baseball columnist who wrote “Teddy’s Catch.”

Josh Evans, Erik Murphy, Chandler Parsons, Jaylen Watkins and Patric Young: These five former Gators allowed OnlyGators.com to chronicle their unique journeys to the NFL and NBA drafts in our exclusive “Path to the Draft” series. This list includes four draft selections and three players on American professional rosters.

Shannon Snell, columnist: A three-year starter at guard for the Gators under head coaches Steve Spurrier and Ron Zook, Snell has provided his experienced take on the football team exclusively on OnlyGators.com since 2012. Snell played in 46 games over four season and started 36 contests during his time wearing orange and blue. He was named a First Team All-American by Sporting News in 2003 and spent two seasons in the NFL.

Danny Wuerffel: The 1996 winner of the Heisman Trophy (and five other prestigious awards) and a Gators national championship-winning quarterback, Wuerffel provided OnlyGators.com with his unique perspective on Florida football during the first five games of the 2010 season in his exclusive blog, “Wuerffel’s Words.”
