Florida Gators baseball enter the new season with sky-high expectations—can Brendan Lawson, Cade Kurland, and Kyle Jones power a run to the College World Series? The Gators unveil a dynamic lineup featuring nine transfer portal additions, Ivy League Player of the Year Sam Miller, and TCU transfer Karson Bowen, promising an offensive shakeup that’s turning heads. Will Ethan Surowiec bring the power back to Gainesville as fans hope for consistency and breakout performances?

Brandon Olsen spotlights the Gators’ weekend rotation—Liam Peterson, Aidan King, and Cooper Walls—exploring pitching depth, command, and potential long-term impact. Peterson anchors the staff with ace upside, King’s elite control marks him as a rising star, and Walls’ high-speed arsenal raises questions about consistency. Key topics include injury updates, new roles for transfers, and how Florida’s rotation stacks up against SEC rivals. Gators faithful: can this revamped roster push Florida back into College World Series contention?
