Mick Hubert (born February 16, 1954) is the radio play-by-play announcer for several Florida Gators athletic teams at the University of Florida (UF). Hubert is only the third "Voice of the Gators" - Otis Boggs held the position for over 40 years, and David Steele left in 1989 to become the TV voice of the expansion Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association. Since then, Hubert has been the lead radio announcer for Florida's football and men's basketball teams and most baseball games. He also serves as the host for several coaches' radio and television shows and hosts and produces various other television, radio, and online content for UF's athletic department.[1] On football broadcasts, he works with color analyst and former Gator player and coach Lee McGriff. For basketball games, he calls the action alongside Mark Wise.

Though he prides himself on extensive preparation before a broadcast, Hubert has become known for his "passionate" style of announcing.[2] He first came to prominence after the Gators' last-minute win at Kentucky in 1993, when his energetic call of "DOERING'S GOT A TOUCHDOWN! DOERING'S GOT A TOUCHDOWN! OHHHH MY!" in describing the game-winning touchdown pass from Danny Wuerffel to Chris Doering was replayed by many national sports networks.[1][3] His enthusiastic radio calls (including his use of "Oh my!", which he has attributed to the influence of long-time sportscaster Dick Enberg) have been featured many times by national sports outlets in the years since.[4][5] As the radio voice of the Gators, Hubert called Florida's 1996, 2006, and 2008 football national championship teams, the 2006 and 2007 men's basketball championships, and the 2017 NCAA baseball championships, making him the only radio announcer to ever call championships for all three major sports for the same university.[1]

Hubert graduated from Illinois State University in 1976. Prior to joining the Gator Radio Network, he worked as the sports director at WHIO-TV in Dayton, Ohio, and did play-by-play for Bradley University and University of Dayton athletics. He also did radio play-by-play for NCAA tournament games for ESPN from 1986 to 1989.[1] He has won many awards during his career, beginning with two Emmy Awards for sports coverage while working at WHIO in the early 1980s.[1] More recently, he was named the National Sports Media Association's Florida Sportscaster of the Year in 2017 and was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 2018.[6][7][8]
