Join your fellow Ospreys for UNF's "first football game" on Saturday, April 19, when the Jacksonville Sharks play as North Florida in VyStar Veteran’s Memorial Arena – a one-time opportunity you won’t want to miss!
For the alter-ego night, the Sharks will adopt the “North Florida Ospreys” identity and don North Florida branded jerseys and helmets. The jerseys will be auctioned off after the game with proceeds benefitting both the UNF Foundation and the Jacksonville Sharks Foundation.
All alumni, students, faculty and staff are invited to cheer on the "Ospreys" (Sharks) as they compete against the Massachusetts Pirates. Enjoy $4 beer specials and special UNF performances as well as the opportunity to engage with Sharks players, the coaching staff and the Attack Dance Team for pictures and autographs on the field after the game.
Starting at 5 p.m., the UNF Alumni Association will also be hosting a Pre-Game Mixer at Intuition Ale Works open to all UNF alumni and friends to join before the game!

| With the Players Championship on the horizon, this month’s spotlight is a story you just can’t putt down! Nick Gabrelcik (’24) came to UNF as a member of the men’s golf team and took the ASUN Conference – and the nation – by storm on his way to the Korn Ferry Tour.
After leading the Ospreys to another NCAA Championship and finishing No. 5 in the PGA TOUR U rankings, he earned his Korn Ferry Tour card, the development tour for the PGA Tour.
Last season, he earned his first Top 10 finish after shooting -20 in the Price Cutter Charity Championship. Recently, he shot 7-under-par to finish second in The Panama Championship. Learn more.
