Florida wins USA Today Network Southeastern Conference Men’s All-Sports Title

Florida won the 2020-21 Southeastern Conference Men’s All-Sports title, presented by USA Today Network, for the 22nd time in program history.

This is the first year the trophy has been awarded by The USA Network, the nation’s largest local-to-national digital media organization which owns the Gainesville Sun and many other newspapers in the SEC footprint.
