Tim Tebow Named SEC Male Athlete of the Year

University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow (Jacksonville, Fla.) was honored Tuesday as he was named the recipient of the 2008-09 Roy F. Kramer Southeastern Conference Male Athlete of the Year as voted on by the league’s athletics directors, Commissioner Mike Slive announced.

This is the second time Tebow has been named the SEC Male Athlete of the Year, as he received the honor in 2007-08. He joins Alistair Craig (Arkansas, cross country/track), Danny Wuerffel (Florida, football) and Shaquille O’Neal (LSU, basketball) as the only student-athletes to win the award back-to-back.

Tebow is the third Gator to receive the honor, joining Wuerffel (1996 and 1997) and Ryan Lochte (swimming, 2005). Georgia’s Courtney Kupets (gymnastics) took home the SEC Female Athlete of the Year award.
