Sandra Gal and Ryan Lochte may not be two of the most recognizable former Gators in the ranks of professional athletes. If you saw either on the street, you might not look twice. But Gal and Lochte have gotten quite a bit of, um, exposure lately after posing for ESPN The Magazine’s “Body Issue.”

Man, what is up with Percy Harvin’s health?
First, the former Florida receiver was hospitalized for a virus and dehydration after vomiting on a flight from Florida to Atlanta en route to Minnesota for a Vikings rookie minicamp in May.
Then, at the NFL Rookie Symposium in South Florida earlier this week, Harvin was sent home after notifying the medical staff that he wasn’t feeling well.
