money Nelson Bradshaw named TaxSlayer Gator Bowl volunteer chairman; Alan Worley is chairman-elect
Nelson Bradshaw, who has been a volunteer with Gator Bowl Sports for 14 years, has been named the 2022-23 TaxSlayer Gator Bowl chairman.
The TaxSlayer Bowl will be played for the 77th time this season at TIAA Bank Field, matching an SEC team vs. an ACC team. The game is televised on ESPN.
Wake Forest defeated Rutgers 38-10 in last year's game. Rutgers, a Big Ten team, replaced Texas A&M when the Aggies couldn't field a team due to a combination of players leaving school early and positive COVID-19 tests.
Bradshaw replaces John Duce, who helped guide the game through the last two years when the 2021 TaxSlayer Bowl between Kentucky and N.C. State was played with only 25 percent capacity because of the pandemic; and last year, when Texas A&M withdrew and Rutgers replaced them within a two-day period 10 days before the game.

“Gator Bowl Sports has been a long-time staple in our community and one of the first organizations I joined after moving to Jacksonville,” Bradshaw said in a statement. “It is an honor and privilege to serve as chairman of this prestigious organization and continue to create an impact across the First Coast through our economic impact, charitable programming, and community engagement initiatives.”
Bradshaw graduated from LSU and from executive management programs at the University of Texas at Austin and IESE International University in Europe. He lives in Jacksonville Beach with Judy, his wife of more than 30 years.
