“We are excited that Jordan will be a Gator,” Jackson said. “He is a fiery competitor that can improve a great deal. We feel that him being from Florida and really wanting to be here is a big positive.”
The Gators are currently 16-6 on the year and ranked No. 13 in the nation after tying for third in the SEC during the regular season. The team hopes to be chosen as one of 16 squads to host a NCAA Regional when the brackets are announced on May 2.
