The University of Florida has produced countless celebrities over the decades, be it in academics, athletics or some other field. Most of the former football players try to make it pro or at an amateur level, and then there’s [autotag]Thaddeus Bullard[/autotag], better known as WWE’s [autotag]Titus O’Neil[/autotag].
A five-year defensive lineman for the Gators, Bullard worked his way out of a tough childhood and was already a success by the time he stepped on campus. He’d go on to win a national championship during his redshirt freshman year at Florida and play in 44 games for the Gators over the following four seasons.
After graduating from the University, O’Neil played arena football until the WWE came knocking. It was there that he found the ultimate platform for his philanthropy work. Now a global ambassador with the company, O’Neil has been recognized as one of the most charitable figures in WWE’s history with the Warrior Award.
Gators Wire had a chance to talk with O’Neil (Bullard) courtesy of the Johnsonville Charity Cornhole Challenge, in which he competed with fellow former Gator and Tennessee Titan Jevon Kearse ahead of the South Carolina game in Week 7. Take a look at what he had to say about his time at Florida, transitioning to the WWE, his philanthropy efforts and his cornhole skills.
