Thomas L. Durrance (February 8, 1950 – July 22, 2005) was a college football player. He was a prominent halfback for the Florida Gators of the University of Florida from 1969 to 1971;[1] one of the "Super Sophs".[2] During his sophomore season, he scored 110 points—then the school record, and still tied for second on the Gators' single-season records list. He was only the second person in SEC history to score 100.[3] His 18 touchdowns gave him the nickname of "Touchdown Tommy."[4] Durrance finished his three-year college career with 2,582 yards of combined rushing and receiving yardage.[5] He was from Daytona Beach.[6]
