Christopher Paul Doering was born to be a Florida Gator–raised in Gainesville, and a surprisingly good athlete as wide receiver on Steve Spurrier‘s Florida Gators. He set several records for walk-on players: 149 receptions (6th best in UF history), 2,107 receiving yards (10th best), 31 touchdown receptions (tops in UF and SEC history). He is well remembered for his game-saving catch against the Kentucky Wildcats in 1993. He was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a Gator Great in 2006.
