The Florida softball program added a pair of veteran players this week through the NCAA transfer portal. The Gators are coming off a deep run in the Women’s College World Series at the beginning of the month and are already restocking their roster.
On Monday, [autotag]Tim Walton[/autotag]’s team brought former Washinton Huskies infielder Rylee Holtorf, who was a 2024 All-PAC-12 First Team shortstop for the Huskies. She holds a career batting average of .290 with 21 doubles, four triples, 17 home runs, 78 runs scored and 56 RBI.
“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.”
On Tuesday, the Orange and Blue added former Alabama Crimson Tide infielder Kenleigh Cahalan to the family with two years of eligibility remaining starting in 2025. She was a 2024 All-SEC Second Team selection, and has a career .290 batting average with 65 runs scored, 24 doubles, five triples, nine home runs, 50 walks and 61 total RBI over 126 games played.
“We are extremely excited to add Kenleigh Cahalan to our program.” Walton said. “Kenleigh is a hard worker and an ultra-competitor. We were very fortunate to recruit her a second time through the recruiting process as we followed her throughout her entire high school career and recruited her to be a Gator the first time around. We are looking forward to getting to work!”
