Tebow is the fifth child of Bob and Pam Tebow, both University of Florida graduates, who were serving as missionaries in the Philippines at the time of his birth. His mother homeschooled Tim and his sibling, instilling them with religious beliefs.

Pam Tebow moved into an apartment with Tim in St. Johns County so he could play football there, which caused a minor controversy when he became an impact player. [1] |

Career as a Gator

In Florida's 2006 "Orange and Blue" Spring scrimmage, Tebow completed 15 of 21 pass attempts for 197 yards and one touchdown. After the game, some Gator fans suggested that Tebow could be named the starting quarterback over current starter Chris Leak. Coach Urban Meyer later stated that despite Tebow's impressive performance, Leak would remain the starting quarterback. [5]
Prior to the 2006 season, Tebow was named by Sports Illustrated as college football's future top mobile quarterback. [6]
Tebow made his college debut in a goal line situation against Southern Mississippi, rushing for a touchdown on a designed quarterback scramble. Against University of Central Florida, Tebow led the Gators with 63 rushing yards.
Tebow made his SEC debut against the Tennessee Volunteers on September 16, 2006. His performance included a ten-yard run on his first carry and converting a critical fourth down near the end of the game.
Tebow's biggest game to date came against the LSU Tigers on October 7, 2006, where he accounted for all three of the Gators' touchdowns, passing for two and rushing for another. Tebow had a 1-yard run on the goal line for his first score, a 1-yard "jump pass" to tight end Tate Casey, in which he jumped in the air and double-pumped his arm before releasing the ball, and a 35-yard play action pass to wide receiver Louis Murphy.
