GAINESVILLE — Florida walk-on football player Michael Guilford was killed early Friday morning in a motorcycle accident in Gainesville.
Guilford, a redshirt freshman from Quincy, crashed his 1998 Kawasaki motorcycle into a median around 1 a.m, killing both him and passenger Ashley Slonina, also a Florida student. Neither Guilford nor Slonina was wearing a helmet, Gainesville Police spokesman Keith Kameg said.
Police believe excessive speed was a factor in the accident. Police are also investigating whether alcohol was involved. Guilford, nicknamed "Sunshine" because of his blonde hair, was a star on the scout team, frequently imitating the opposition's quarterback. He acted as Troy Smith as the Gators prepared to face Ohio State in the national championship game, and acted as Kentucky's Andre Woodson in practice Thursday, according to the Tampa Tribune.
