JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 9, 2020 – Wells Fargo executive John Duce has taken the reins as the 2020 Chairman of Gator Bowl Sports Board of Trustees and will preside over all Gator Bowl Sports entities including the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl football game and game week events as well as Gator Bowl Charities youth initiatives.
