The 2024 class is composed of eight Gator Greats and one Honorary Letterwinner.
The list of Gator Greats on this year’s class includes Elizabeth Beisel (Women’s Swimming & Diving), Marcin Cieslak (Men’s Swimming & Diving), Francesca (Softball), Chase Henry (Football), Genevieve LaCaze (Women’s Track & Field), Hannah Rogers (Softball), Preston Tucker (Baseball) and Scottie Wilbekin (Men’s Basketball). The eight Gator Greats were part of X NCAA and X Southeastern Conference title teas and claimed X NCAA individual crowns.
Additionally, former soccer head coach Becky Burleigh will enter as an Honorary Letterwinner.
Gator Greats are Letterwinners who brought recognition and prominence to the University of Florida and themselves by their athletic accomplishments as a student-athlete.
An Honorary Letterwinner is a coach or athletic official (after retirement) who was not a letter winner or athlete at the University of Florida, yet rendered outstanding service to the program through personal time, effort, interest and through many years of continued service.
The Hall of Fame Banquet will occur Friday, October 18, 2023, prior to the Kentucky home football game.
