GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida's incoming 2023 recruiting class is once again ranked among the best in the sport, as Collegiate Baseball on Tuesday placed the Gators at No. 4 in the country for the early signing period.
Since earning the team's first of three No. 1 classes in 2009, Florida has now produced 11 top-five rankings in the last 15 cycles. Since Head Coach Kevin O'Sullivan's first-full class in 2008, all but two of the Gators' recruiting classes have been ranked inside the top 10 by Collegiate Baseball.
