Notable Performances: As a newly branded team, they played for the first time in the 2020 As 1 Tournament and finished in 2nd place

Favorite races: Wild loves to throw the “bonus flag” in the ladder race, they got their 3 points in every ladder race they played in 2020.

About: The Gainesville Wild is a new team (formerly the Jacksonville Steel) that made a BIG first impression ending the 2020 season with 2nd place. The Wild lost in the championship match by only 3 points against the very experienced Fort Lauderdale Lions. With not a lot of experience in the FGL but with competitive players willing to step up in every race, the Wild are ready to shine again in the 2021 season with a core of returning players from the 2020 season. We can not wait to see how Wild this team is going to be.
