"Great to finish the right way," Florida coach Billy Napier said of the play. 

As any proud parent would, Senator Rubio took to social media to praise his son's accomplishments. 

"Happy my son scored," he wrote in a post on X. "But what I am truly proud of is the joy from his teammates and that he gave all the glory to God." 

Rubio joined the Gators' football program as a walk-on running back in 2023. He redshirted his first year and didn't see any action until Friday's game. He wrapped up the game with 32 rushing yards and one score on the ground.
