About Albert Gator

The commander in chief when it comes to all things spirit at UF, Albert is the big man on campus. His favorite pastime is spending Saturdays in The Swamp with 90,000 of his closest friends.

When he isn't cheering on the Gators to victory, Albert also likes to stay active by participating in movie marathons. He is currently in the process of writing and producing his own homemade 30 for 30 ESPN documentaries. Running titles include: "Guru of Gators," "Straight Outta L.A. (Lake Alice)," and "Student/Athlete."

Albert draws his inspiration from many places, but his heroes in particular are Godzilla, that one gator from Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, and WWE wrestling champion Titus O'Neil.

Albert's particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career, include performing 2-Bits before home football games and giving the best high-fives known to gator or mankind. His game day ritual comprises flossing his teeth for a good 30 minutes, running stadiums while listening to "The Orange and Blue" fight song on repeat, and donning his best 2-Bits attire.

Above all else, Albert hopes to inspire all Gators fans young and old to connect the members of the Gator Nation over the ideals of academic integrity and good sportsmanship that make the University of Florida great.
