Coming out of high school as a three-star recruit, Toney committed to play collegiate football at the University of Florida after receiving offers from many programs.

He functioned as a versatile offensive force with the ability to play as a quarterback, wide receiver, running back and even be a part of special teams. However, even as a reserve, Toney’s speed, agility, route running and his flair for creating highlights made him a delight to watch on the football field. His versatility and performances earned him recognition as an All-SEC player and Second-Team All-American. Furthermore, Toney was also in contention for the prestigious Paul Hornung Award.
