Florida baseball earned a commitment from JUCO slugger Caden Davidson on Tuesday.
The primary first baseman recently decommitted from Wake Forest following coaching changes and landed with the Gators five days later. He spent his freshman year at Gaston College, where the Rhinos went 53-4 and finished the season ranked No. 4 among NJCAA Division I programs.
Davidson was the nation's top hitter with a .500 batting average and was fourth in the country with 110 RBIs. He also had 23 home runs with a 1.609 OPS. Davidson was named an All-Region 10 selection and a first-team NJCAA All-American.
Seven Florida arms have entered the transfer portal: McCall Biemiller (NC State), Eli Blair (USF), Matthew Jenkins (Charlotte), Rivers Kurland, Cooper Moss (USF), Christian Rodriguez and Cooper Walls (Georgia). Starting second baseman Cade Kurland is headed to LSU, while Infielder Kolt Myers (Grand Canyon) and outfielder Blake Brookins are the two other position players to enter the transfer portal so far.
Florida earned its first transfer commitment from former FGCU catcher Jon Embury, the 2026 ASUN Player of the Year, on June 4, followed by Jacksonville State right-hander Maddox McDougall on June 9. Oregon State southpaw Trey Morris and Utah State infielder Kyle McDaniel committed on June 16, and FAU infielder and former Gator John Martinez announced his return to Gainesville on June 18. Right-hander Zach Edwards also made the jump from Oregon State to Florida on June 20.
