GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Florida All-American guard Walter Clayton Jr. was cool-headed and in control on his way to a national championship, but the 22-year-old let the tears flow Wednesday night as his NBA dream became reality. In a head-spinning turn of events for one of the draft's fastest-rising players, Clayton was selected with the No. 18 pick by the Washington Wizards, who promptly traded Clayton to the Utah Jazz.

GAINESVILLE - Florida guards Alijah Martin and Will Richard became accustomed last season to serving as Walter Clayton Jr.'s supporting cast. Each is a talent in his own right and at times was a force of nature during the Gators' national title run, but Clayton often stole the show. The NBA draft should be no different. But with UF's All-American guard virtually assured of a first-round selection Wednesday, Martin and Richard hope to make their presence felt during Thursday's second round.

GAINESVILLE - The fifth in a position-by-position preview of the Florida Gators football team leading up to SEC Media Days. TODAY: OFFENSIVE LINE What to expect Florida's offensive line features an All-American center, considerable experience and plenty of promise. How well the group puts it all together will go a long way toward determining the fate of the 2025 Gators. If UF's big uglies do their job, embattled coach Billy Napier's offense could long last be a joy to watch.

Former Gator Jac Caglianone goes hitless but still makes an impact in MLB debut https://t.co/VTae43p2ap https://t.co/vOWl30vHTF

A lot of nice turns of phrase here by @BianchiWrites. My favorite: 'I miss the good ol’ days when we naively perceived college football as an amateur sport run by professionals. Now we see it for what it really it is: A professional sport run by amateurs.' 😆
