Bobby Boser possesses the kind of power that makes elite SEC arms nervous, so it only makes sense for him to finish his college career in the nation’s toughest conference after three years with the South Florida Bulls.
On Wednesday, Boser confirmed his commitment to the Florida Gators.
The three-year Bull was named a 2024 First Team All-Conference selection in the American Athletic despite missing over 22 games with a broken bone in is hand. He batted .299 with 18 extra-base hits, 32 RBI and 28 runs scored.
He leaves USF ranked eighth in program history with 31 career home runs.

Bobby Boser’s fit at Florida
The former USF infielder has a shot to start at Florida, but his position is unclear at this point. A primary middle infielder in Tampa and the Cape Code League this summer, Boser also has experience at first, third and all three outfield positions.
The expectation is for him to land at one of the corner spots. Jacksonville transfer Justin Nadeau and Texas Tech transfer Landon Stripling are his main competition at first and third.
There’s a world where Colby Shelton moves back to third and Boser takes over at short, but it feels unlikely given Shelton’s desire to prove himself at the position — not to mention Shelton was one of the SEC’s best defensive shortstops a season ago.
