Former Florida head football coach Urban Meyer will return to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and have his National Football Foundation (NFF) On-Campus Salute when the Gators host Tennessee on Nov. 22.

The NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salutes, which began with the inaugural NFF College Football Hall of Fame Class in 1951, are a tradition and serve as the first of numerous activities in each electee’s Hall of Fame experience.

During the NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salutes, each member of the 2025 NFF College Football Hall of Fame Class will return to his respective school to accept a Hall of Fame plaque that will stay on permanent display at the institution. The events take place on the field during a home game, and many Hall of Famers cite the experience as the ultimate capstone to their careers, providing them one more chance to take the field and be recognized in front of their home crowd.

Meyer is the 14th overall Gator and fifth Florida coach to enter the College Football Hall of Fame. He was the head coach for the Gators from 2005-10 and posted an overall record of 65-15 and a Southeastern Conference (SEC) mark of 36-12.

During his six seasons at UF, Meyer led the Gators to two national championships (2006 and 2008), two SEC Championships, three SEC Eastern Division crowns and six-straight January bowl games, including three BCS bowl games.

He was named the All-American Football Foundation Coach of the Year in 2008 and his overall winning percentage of .813 ranks second all-time in program history. Also during Meyer’s time at UF, the Gators earned 57 All-America honors and had 113 All-SEC accolades. Tim Tebow also won the Heisman Trophy under Meyer in 2007.

The 2025 NFF College Football Hall of Fame Class will be inducted during the National Football Foundation’s 67th Annual Awards Dinner Presented by Las Vegas on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
