GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida softball head coach Tim Walton announced the addition of graduate transfer infielder Rylee Holtorf to the program Monday afternoon. Holtorf, a graduate transfer from Washington, will have one year of eligibility remaining and will compete during the 2025 season.
"We are extremely excited to add experience and depth to the youngest team at the Women's College World Series last year." Walton said. "Rylee Holtorf brings a wealth of experience and the desire to continue to get better. We are looking forward to getting back on the dirt this fall."
Holtorf, a 2024 All-PAC-12 First Team shortstop for the Huskies, holds a career batting average of .290 (108-for 372) with 21 doubles, four triples, 17 home runs, 78 runs scored and 56 RBI. Overall, she received 140 starts in 148 games played through three seasons at Washington, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in communications with a minor in education.
The Peoria, Ariz., native's experience extends to the world stage as she was a 2021 Junior World Cup Gold Medalist with Team USA where she hit .417 (5-for-12) with a pair of doubles, five RBI and three runs scored.
In addition to being an All-PAC 12 First Team selection last season, Holtorf also earned numerous accolades over her career as she is a two-time NFCA All-Pacific Region (2023 & 2024) honoree, an All-PAC-12 Defensive Team (2023) selection, earned PAC-12 All-Tournament Team (2023) honors, was a member of the PAC-12 All-Freshman Team (2022) and was honored by being tabbed a College Sports Communicators (CS) Third Team Academic All-American (2024).
Prior to the start of her collegiate career, Holtorf was named the 2020 Gatorade Player of the Year for the State of Arizona and helped lead Sandra Day O'Connor High School to a state championship alongside Jocelyn Erickson in 2019.
