Florida's 7-Foot-9 Olivier Rioux Goes Viral with Reporter

Olivier Rioux, a 19-year-old freshman at Florida, stands at an astonishing 7-foot-9, making him the tallest player in NCAA Division I basketball history. Despite not playing this season, his presence has gained significant attention, especially after CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson shared a viral photo of them together, highlighting their stark height difference—Wolfson is only 5-foot-2. The image drew humor and amazement from fans on social media, with many commenting on the visual contrast. Rioux, who hopes to capitalize on his name, image, and likeness rights, was a three-star recruit and recently participated in ceremonial activities like cutting down nets after Florida's SEC Championship win. Although he has not played yet, fans are eagerly anticipating his future contributions to the team. The Florida Gators, currently a top contender in March Madness, advanced to the Sweet 16, showcasing their championship potential.
