39-Nat Moore

Nat Moore transferred from UT Martin to Florida in 1972 and played running back for Doug Dickey's Gators for two years.
As a junior in 1972, Moore led the Gators with 145 rushes for 845 yards and nine rushing touchdowns, twenty-five receptions for 351 receiving yards and four touchdown catches, and 230 return yards. He was an honorable mention AP All-American and first-team All-SEC pick in 1972 after leading the Gators in rushing. He also was Florida’s top receiver in ’72. Moore would later become a standout with his hometown Miami Dolphins, where he was a frequent passing target for Bob Griese. He was named to the University of Florida Athletic Association Hall of Fame as a Gator Great in 1978.

Also he helped Marino put up numbers as the 3rd receiver behind the Marks brothers.

Good point. Nat Moore was fortunate to play for two great quarterbacks. Nat was an announcer for Gator games on the Sunshine Network, and later rejoined Bob Griese in the announcer booth for Dolphins preseason games.
