Baton Rouge honoring a Gator? Thanks to Danny Wuerffel and his service in New Orleans, there’s something that Florida and LSU fans can agree on.
The Louisiana Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night honoring Wuerffel, the former Gators quarterback, for his charitable efforts in the state.
Louisiana Senate Resolution 210, introduced by John Milkovich (D-Shreveport), commends Wuerffel for his “immeasurable service in supporting spiritual and community development.”
Wuerffel began working with Desire Street Ministries, based in New Orleans, around the close of his NFL career with the Saints. He’s continued his efforts with the organization, which has worked to rebuild the communities of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
In August 2016, the organization opened the Desire Community Square in the city’s Ninth Ward, the region most devastated by the hurricane.
Wuerffel’s latest honor comes more than 20 years after his Heisman Trophy in Florida’s national title season of 1996.
