Florida outfielder Brock Edge, who entered the transfer portal last week, has found a new home. The fifth-year player will be staying relatively close, as he will be transferring to North Florida to play his final collegiate season of eligibility. He announced his decision on Twitter.
Edge was a relatively unknown recruit out of high school. Perfect Game didn’t have him ranked overall nationally, and he was just the No. 573 outfielder in the nation. He started his career at the junior college level, playing for Santa Fe College in Gainesville in 2018 and 2019.
I am excited to announce I will be attending the University of North Florida to continue baseball as well as start my Master’s as a graduate transfer next year! Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way! pic.twitter.com/a6fHPx4OTa

The son of former Florida punter Shayne Edge, the younger Edge signed with the Gators, appearing in 11 of 17 games during his junior season in 2020 before it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In six at-bats, he had two hits and an RBI. He also managed to reach base on a walk.
As a “COVID” junior in 2021, Edge saw an even smaller role. He appeared in 10 games but saw just four at-bats. He didn’t earn any hits and struck out in two of those at-bats, but he did score one run on the season.
Now, he’ll hope to see more action with the Ospreys in his final season.
