4-star DL Zahmar Tookes gives #Gators 13 top-300 prospects of 19 members of a class now ranked No. 3 nationally per @247Sports composite rankings.

Florida's @CoachJonSumrall setting an Urban, Zook-like recruiting pace. UF's last No. 3 class was 2013 under Boom, headlined by VH3.

Georgia tackle Kennedee Jackson became the fourth offensive lineman among the nation’s top-150 prospects to commit to the Gators’ 2027 class. https://t.co/jD6y9QDdgb

Season ends for @GatorsGolf against defending champion Oklahoma State, falling 3-2 in quarterfinals of NCAA match play. No. 2 Gators, No. 3 Texas, No. 10 Vanderbilt all out as No. 1 Auburn sole SEC team in semifinals.

Good luck to Troy. From what I saw over weekend, this team is legit and Meade is a fun guy. Asked him about Sumrall after game. He texted him not long afterward to say congrats. They got hired at Troy same year and bonded over Kentucky roots.

Florida lost to Troy 10-2 during the deciding game of the NCAA Regional as the Sun Belt Conference champions stun the tournament’s No. 8 seed. https://t.co/jx2JYDi1IL

[Edgar Thompson @osgators]

Kevin O'Sullivan on decision to take out Caden McDonald after four scoreless innings and #Gators trailing just 2-1 in T-6 during 10-2 loss to Troy to end Florida's season in NCAA Regional.

'It’s always easy to second guess. But I saw him in the dugout and he looked gassed.'

[Edgar Thompson @osgators]

Swanwick shot 4-under 32 coming in as #Gators deliver clutch 12-under par day. Currently 11-under and tied for third with Vanderbilt on final day of stroke play.

Florida was 5-over after two days, at one point falling to 20th place in 30-team field in Round 2.

Will carry a lot of momentum into Tuesday's match play.

the kiwi came to play 🤝

#Gators continue to roll on final day of stroke play at NCAAs https://t.co/aBqhwwZ5ti

[Edgar Thompson @osgators]

#Gators comeback continues and they enter top-eight needed to qualify for championship match play. A long and consequential day ahead for the nation's second-ranked team.

[Gators Golf @GatorsGolf]

Here come the Gators! 🐊

Swanwick birdies one and Florida is tied for 8th at 1-under! 👏

#Gators lost to Bethune-Cookman 6-2 in 2017 NCAA Regional to force another winner-take-all scenario on a Monday. Worked out pretty well that time for Kevin O'Sullivan's team.

Florida hit seven home runs, including a school-record five in one inning, to rout error-prone, rival Miami 22-10 during the NCAA Regional. https://t.co/OnXtGkrolB

[Edgar Thompson @osgators]

Florida is one game away from hosting a Super Regional next week after blasting Miami 22-10. #Gators finished with 7 home runs, 15 hits and cycled through 9 Miami pitchers while producing a pair of seven-run innings during a 4-hour, 13-minute marathon.

[Edgar Thompson @osgators]

These #Gators baseball writers are a different breed as this Miami game approaches FOUR hours. But a FIVE-home run inning - off Miami's eight pitcher - was worth waiting for at Condron Ballpark. Florida leads 22-10 as Canes call in pitcher No. 9.

[Edgar Thompson @osgators]

Second-ranked #Gators back on the course after a slow-ish start at NCAA Championship (T-12 after 18). Sophomore Zack Swanwick leading the way and 2 strokes off lead. Chance to make a move this morning in more favorable conditions.

picking up where he left off! 🔥

Swanny birdies two and is -4, two back of the individual lead ⬆️

Florida overcame a late bullpen collapse as Brendan Lawson’s walk-off homer lifted the Gators to an 8-7 NCAA Regional win over Rider. https://t.co/RQ0624H845
