We named this after the UF Pike who is credited for penning the Florida Football team as The Gators.

Hailing from Everglades City, the town his family founded, he went on to become captain of the undefeated 1911 Florida Gators football team. Considered one of the school's best ever centers, Storter was selected for a position on its All-Time team in 1927. The 1911 team tied the South Carolina Gamecocks, defeated The Citadel Bulldogs, Clemson and the College of Charleston, declared themselves to be the champions of South Carolina, and finished their season 5–0–1—still the only undefeated football season in the Gators history. The team was the first to use the nickname Gators.

A former player Roy Corbett sent a letter to The Gainesville Sun congratulating the 1928 team and mentioned the nickname coming from Storter. Carl Van Ness's research also posits Storter as the name's origin.
