Tim Tebow is a Great Floridian, It's Confirmed

Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Friday will confirm what all of Gator Nation already knows: Tim Tebow is a Great Floridian.

The governor will present the Heisman-winning, national-championship winning, former University of Florida quarterback with the "Great Floridian" award in Ponte Vedra Beach, where Tebow took his high school team to a state championship.

The Great Floridian designation is given in recognition of the outstanding achievements of men and women who have made significant contributions to the progress and welfare of Florida.

Tebow will join 66 other people who have received the award since 1981.

The Secretary of State selects no fewer than two Great Floridians from nominees made by a committee representing the Governor (1), each member of the Florida Cabinet (3), the President of the Senate (1), the Speaker of the House (1), and the Florida Secretary of State (1).
