GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Tuesday afternoon junior outfielder Korbe Otis of the Florida softball team was named to the 2024 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-America First Team. The honor is the first of Otis' career.
Otis, a native of Littleton, Co., earned the accolade after a successful season both on the field and in the classroom during her first year as a member of the Gators squad that finished third nationally in the semifinals of the Women's College World Series.
The talented outfielder finished with a .434 batting average (79-for-182), a .568 on base percentage, 82 runs scored, five triples and 59 walks, which all rank inside the top five of UF's single-season record book.
Throughout the season she was named a USA Softball Player of the Year Top 10 Finalist, a 2024 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) First Team All-American, an All-SEC First Team member, All-SEC Tournament Team and was a two-time SEC Player of the Week selection.
Otis is the third Gator in any sport to be named a CSC Academic All-American this season.
Florida softball has earned 26 College Sports Communicators Academic All-America honors, and during Walton's time as the head coach of the Gators, 13 players have earned 23 CSC Academic All-America accolades.
