A two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner and eventual first-round NFL Draft pick from the University of Florida, Tebow has also pursued careers in broadcast, filmmaking, professional baseball and motivational speaking.

An outspoken Christian, Tebow has delivered faith-based commencement speeches to high schools and colleges across the United States, including Liberty University's graduation in 2021.

King's Academy is a private, Christian co-education school in West Palm Beach and has sought other devout sports stars to give speeches to graduating classes.

Last year's keynote speaker was also from the NFL as Benjamin Watson, a Super Bowl champion tight end and two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year finalist, addressed the Class of 2021.
