Kylie Holden, the No. 2 prospect in the entire 2028 class, officially committed to Florida softball this past Friday, October 2. Seriously, if you thought Florida was already a powerhouse, buckle up, because the rich just got a whole lot richer, and this 2028 class is shaping up to be absolutely wild.
Holden Is Bringing Serious Heat to Gainesville
Holden, a five-star middle infielder, made her commitment public at a ceremony right before Ocoee High School’s football game in Orlando. This isn’t some minor pickup, folks: Softball America has her pegged as the No. 2 player in her entire recruiting class. That’s big time, and it signals a massive win for the Gators program.
Florida’s 2028 Class Is Starting to Look Unfair
Here’s where it gets wild: Holden isn’t even the only top-tier talent headed to Gainesville in 2028. Florida had already locked in five-star catcher Ryann Harris, who’s ranked No. 8 overall. Then there’s five-star two-way player Kate Losh, chilling at No. 11. And if that wasn’t enough, they also snagged four-star catcher Brooklyn Evans, the No. 21 recruit. Think about that for a second: the No. 2, No. 8, No. 11, and No. 21 players, all in one class. That’s a ridiculous haul, and it’s still so early.
This kind of recruiting success speaks volumes about the Florida program. Landing Holden, on top of an already stacked list of commits, means they are absolutely loading up for the future. The rest of college softball should probably take notice, because Florida isn’t just reloading, they’re building something special in Gainesville for 2028 and beyond.
