Three Florida Gators pitchers enter NCAA transfer portal
Summary

Three pitchers from the Florida Gators have entered the NCAA transfer portal, including junior Christian Rodriguez and junior Matthew Jenkins, along with freshman Cooper Moss. Rodriguez, who had high expectations after surgery, posted a 20.25 ERA in limited action this spring. Jenkins showed potential but struggled against SEC opponents and dealt with injuries. Moss, who did not play in 2026, seeks a better situation after not receiving assurances on innings. Florida's recruiting class includes six pitchers who might join the program. Coach Kevin O'Sullivan is actively seeking left-handed pitchers to bolster the bullpen.
