During the FHSAA’s Board of Directors meeting June 9, the committee approved an Open Division format that places the top eight teams, regardless of classification, into their own playoff bracket. 

Buchholz football coach Mark Whittemore said the school wants to win its second state title in program history, but wouldn’t be opposed to playing for higher stakes during an interview with Steve Russell on Sports Scene Wednesday.  

“We’ve also been ranked there at the tail end of that deal, which if you’re the seventh or eighth team it’s exciting to be able to go play in that competitive format, but you’re also foregoing a chance to maybe be that state champ,” Whittemore said.

The changes impact football, girls volleyball, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, boys and girls lacrosse and flag football. For football, MaxPreps rankings at the end of the regular season determine the top-eight teams, while the postseason for all other sports will be based on rankings after the district tournament. 

Under the previous format, schools competed within their class during the postseason, allowing programs like St. Thomas Aquinas football, who’s won seven straight state championships, to control the playoffs. The new format gives Florida high schools on the cusp of the playoffs a chance to make a postseason run. 

Forest High School finds itself in the Bobcats’ division for all impacted sports after the FHSAA’s updated football classifications for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons placed the two schools in together. 

The rivalry between the two schools runs across sports. In 2026, the Buchholz baseball team, ranked No. 11 in the state, knocked the Forest out of the FHSAA Baseball 6A District 2 Tournament with a 5-0 win April 15. 

Forest athletic director Paul Austin said the changes won’t impact how Forest coaches approach the season but appreciates what the new format might mean for his programs. 

“We’ve always been right close to qualifying for the postseason and it may give us an opportunity to get in,” Austin said. “I don’t know if it’s going to, for us, do much one way or the other.” 

Austin, who has been with Forest for seven years, thinks the Open Division adds excitement to the postseason.

“When it comes down to the teams in this open division coming down to the championship, I think there’s going to be a lot of excitement with it because you’re talking about the best players and the best teams in the state of Florida finally going against each other no matter what class,” Austin said. 

With the changes going into effect next season, Austin said his teams will wait to see the impact. Regardless of how the format pans out, Whittemore said he likes the FHSAA’s willingness to adapt.

“Whether we turn around three years from now and say it was bad or good, I just like the fact that we’re being innovative and we’re trying to answer questions,” Whittemore said. “So I applaud the FHSAA for being proactive here.”

FHSAA executive director Craig Damon said the organization got the idea from the Arizona Interscholastic Association, which introduced an Open Division format for football in 2019. The FHSAA tweaked the Arizona model, which features a 12-team bracket, to include the top eight teams, divided into two pools between the one, four, five and eight seeds and the two, three, six and seven seeds. 

To ensure each school gets a home game, each pool will play a round-robin format before the top two teams from each pool advance to the Final Four.

“We want our schools to still have an opportunity to bring and generate some funds and some revenue by hosting a home game, whether it’s through concessions or parking,” Damon said.  “Everybody having that higher seed would probably get two home games out of the three games that they play.”

The Open Division also opens the door to include more teams in the postseason.

Because the rankings do not factor in classification, Damon said postseason may feature never-seen-before matchups and smaller schools going head-to-head against larger schools like Chaminade-Madonna (Class 2A District 7) versus St. Thomas (Class 5A District 15). 

After Cardinal Newman ended Chaminade’s 4-year title streak with a 17-14 win Dec. 11, the Wildcats claimed the No. 9 spot in MaxPreps final Florida football rankings. Damon said Chaminade-Madonna football coach Dameon Jones welcomes the Open Division because of difficulties scheduling bigger schools against the Lions. 

“Down in South Florida some of the top teams, the bigger schools won’t play them in the regular season and he’s tried to get them to play them and they won’t play them,” Damon said. “So he’s like, ‘Okay put me in the Open Division because we’ll play anybody any time.’ So it’s good to hear coaches of teams with that caliber that are small schools say, ‘Hey, we don’t care because we feel we can compete with anybody any given day.’”

For the teams that make the Open Division, the FHSAA will send them a banner or trophy that acknowledges the achievement of making the top eight. 

The Open Division games will also align with the regular state championships in each of the affected sports. For football, the Final Four will likely take place at the Villages as the neutral site, but the organization hasn’t yet decided on neutral sites for the other sports. 

The FHSAA board began discussing an Open Division concept about three years ago and approved the idea in 2024, but continued workshopping the format after initially picturing a double elimination tournament. The FHSAA will make adjustments based on how well the Open Division works next season, but hopes other states follow suit. 

“I think everybody’s watching Florida because we tend to be the leader when it comes to not being afraid to try new things so I’m excited to see where we go with this,” Damon said. “Hopefully it could be a model that other states try to emulate moving forward.”

As the FHSAA continues trying to meet the wants of its athletes, creating a national league may be in the cards in the future. 

“I’ve been told that if you don’t evolve, you become extinct,” Damon said. “So we’ve got to look at what our kids, our student athletes, our coaches and our families are asking or looking for and try to find a way within our system to provide some of those things.”

Oregon State pitcher Trey Morris followed his pitching coach Rich Dorman, announcing his commitment Tuesday on X. 

Shortly after Dorman joined Florida’s staff Monday, Morris entered the portal with a “do not contact” tag. 

“His addition [Coach Dorman] ensures that the most elite pitchers in our sport will be developed in Gainesville while being provided with all the tools necessary for continued success at Florida and beyond,” Gators coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “Rich instantly makes our program and our players better, and we are thrilled to add someone of his caliber and national notoriety to the Gators.”

In 2026, Morris made eight starts, appearing in 16 games while posting a 7-0 record. The lefty held a 1.98 ERA across 59 innings, ranking second nationally in ERA. The freshman led the country in WHIP (0.83) and kept a 67-to-15 strikeouts-to-walks ratio while limiting opponents to a .166 batting average.

The freshman comes from a pitching staff that led the country in ERA (3.22), total strikeouts (699), WHIP (1.14) and hits allowed per nine innings (6.94). Dorman’s pitchers consistently perform on the mound, sitting among the top 20 in ERA and hits per nine innings over the last three seasons. 

The freshman led the Beavers in ERA (1.98), opposing batting average (.166) and mound appearances (16). 

In his final five outings, Morris went 5-0, throwing 29 1/3 innings while limiting opponents to six runs and 18 hits. The lefty started the stretch with six shutout innings against the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley April 28, sitting down six batters to earn his third win. On May 31, Morris pitched a season-high 6 1/3 innings and nine strikeouts during the Beavers 10-1 win over Washington State, where he allowed one hit and one run. 

Perfect Game and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association awarded Morris Freshman All-American. He joins Jackson Hoyt as the second left-handed pitcher on the Gators’ pitching staff. Hoyt maintained a 13.50 ERA across 7 1/3 innings during his freshman season.

Despite marking the triple crown in conference championships in 2025-2026, the women have not won a title since 2022, and the men lost a three-year title streak last season. The University of Florida is now without a national championship for the first time since 2009.

While the men did not have the numbers to produce team success, the women’s team came close with 43 points to finish second — seven behind the 2026 indoor and back-to-back outdoor champion Georgia Bulldogs.

It came down to the final event of the day: the 4×400-meter relay. After a hot start for the Gators, they dropped to sixth, while Georgia finished second for eight points and the team title. A disqualification in the 5,000 meters had given coach Mike Holloway’s Gators two additional points earlier in the day.

Senior thrower Alida Van Daalen led Florida with 16 points on her own. She opened with six on day one — a season-best 18.12-meter throw and a third-place finish in the shot put Thursday — before winning an individual national championship in discus Saturday with a meet-record 65.98-meter throw on her third attempt.
Senior Hilda Olemomoi competed in both the 5,000 and 10,000 meters. She finished ninth in the 10,000, five seconds back from the minimum point placement of eighth. A disqualification of former winner Doris Lemngole (Alabama) in her first 5,000-meter run at the NCAA Championships pushed freshman Judy Chepkoech to third and Olemomoi to sixth.

Sprinter Gabrielle Matthews ran the 100 and 200 meters, finishing sixth and fourth in the respective events for a combined eight points.

In the triple jump, sophomore Asia Phillips jumped 13.57 meters Thursday for a fourth-place finish.

Senior Tia Wilson made a move too early in the 1500 meters, losing gas at the end and finishing seventh for two points. Wilson had qualified as the fourth-fastest time in prelims; her teammate, freshman Claire Stegall, placed 13th and just missed the qualification line.

Junior Layla Haynes ran a 2:01.67 in the 800 meters to finish 16th and miss qualifying.

Also missing out on points was heptathlete Pauline Bikembo, who sat seventh heading into her final event, the 800-meter run. She ran 2:17.47 to fall to ninth, ten points behind Northern Iowa’s Joey Perry.

Thrower Imani Washington competed in the hammer throw Thursday, placing 21st — just under 13 meters off the leader, Elisabet Rut Rúnarsdóttir of Texas State.

On the men’s side, the Gators finished 15th with 18 points.

The meet was highlighted by a win from sophomore Vance Nilsson in the 400-meter hurdles out of lane 9. The seventh-fastest qualifier in prelims, Nilsson improved his time by over a second to become the first Gator to win the event title since 2017. His 48.06 is the ninth-fastest time in collegiate history.

Coming off the East Preliminary in Lexington, Justin Braun sat third in the world in the 400 meters. He finished sixth in 44.79 seconds for three points.

The remaining points came courtesy of junior Leikel Cabrera Gay in javelin and Kelvin Cheruiyot in the 10,000-meter run Wednesday, finishing sixth and seventh, respectively.

Arkansas took the men’s outdoor title for the first time since 2003, with Georgia finishing seven points back in second.

Stricklin, speaking on “Sportscene” with Steve Russell on WRUF Friday, said The Swamp currently does not meet building or Americans with Disabilities Act codes, making a major overhaul unavoidable regardless of cost. Full details on the project are available at SwampRenovations.com.

“Any objective observer who walks into a game day at The Swamp would admit that it’s probably time to give the place some attention,” Stricklin said. “The Swamp, candidly, does not meet code, and whenever you do any kind of significant renovation, you have to get up to code.”

Upgrading the 1930s-era stadium to modern life safety and accessibility standards will cost “several hundred million dollars” on its own. A major driver is the need to widen aisles and add handrails.

“The aisles are just too narrow right now,” Stricklin said. “Just widening the aisles enough to put handrails in means you’re lopping off a couple seats at the end of every single row. I think you’re losing about 8,000 seats in the bowl.”

He emphasized the reduction is a legal requirement, not a discretionary choice.

To offset that loss, Florida plans a new premium structure at the top of the bowl, along with standing-room platforms, to keep attendance above 88,000. Those premium areas will also generate the revenue needed to finance the entire project.

“The premium seating and the structure at the top of the bowl is also what’s going to drive the revenue that allows us to pay for the whole thing,” Stricklin said. 

Unlike many enclosed suite levels, he said the new premium seats will remain outdoors to preserve The Swamp’s famed noise and atmosphere.

Stricklin addressed fan concerns about ticket prices, saying no decisions have been made but that students will not bear the cost.

“There’s no plan to use any tuition dollars or any student fee dollars toward this project,” he said.

Student season tickets are informally capped at about half the price of a regular ticket and come without the donation requirements attached to most seats, Stricklin said. Florida plans to continue playing home games at The Swamp throughout construction, with the usual exception of the annual Florida-Georgia game at a neutral site.

The athletic department plans to finance the project through long-term debt rather than private equity, with strong interest from traditional lenders. The $1.45 billion cost will be spread over three decades, and Stricklin said the upgraded stadium is projected to generate more than that in new revenue over the same period.

Florida relied heavily on fan feedback through two recent surveys, including one that drew more than 10,000 respondents, to gauge demand for different seating products. Because the project rolls out in phases, Stricklin said the school can adjust the final mix of seating based on actual sales interest.

For Stricklin, the stakes could not be clearer.

“The name of the game in college athletics these days is whoever has the most resources gives themselves the best chance to be successful,” he said. “We’re not doing this to lose money. We’re not doing this to tread water financially.”

The 35: Greatest Gators of All Time. Thursdays 2–3 p.m. on WRUF 98.1. May 14 through July 2.

The 19-year-old from Hong Kong will make her professional debut after closing out an 11th-place team finish and a T14 individual result at the NCAA National Championships in Carlsbad, California.

Teeing off Thursday at 11:13 a.m.,  Wu earned her spot in the U.S. Women’s Open through a three-way playoff in April, outlasting Texas All-American Farah O’Keefe and professional golfer Polly Mack. 

After winning several titles at the amateur level and holding two years of collegiate experience  under her belt, Wu will make her professional debut.

“When playing in college, we’re a team, and now I’m just playing for myself,” said Wu. “I’m really excited, but really nervous too.” Despite the nerves, Wu’s mental coach tells her, “at the end of the day, it’s just golf,” a mantra she plans to stand by during the tournament. 

As an amateur and collegiate player, Wu is no stranger to showing up and showing out. She was the runner-up at the Gators Invitational this past season on DATE and boasts the title of three-time American Junior Golf Association champion. Wu has logged several SEC awards and was named an WGCA All-America honorable mention on Tuesday. 

A member of the Hong Kong National Golf Team, Siuue moved to Florida to continue showcasing her talents on the course, along with her twin sister Isa Wu.

Wu’s development as a golfer has shown strides since coming to Gainesville and attributes her progress to head coach Emily Glaser.  

“She [Glaser] is a great coach and taught me so much, not just on the course but off the course as well,” Wu said. “I think the biggest lesson she taught me is really just staying patient and believing in myself.” 

This year’s U.S. Women’s Open features a 156-player field, including international No. 1 Nelly Korda. Wu is accompanied by 26 other amateur golfers, including current Florida teammate Paula Francisca. 

Now facing off against the world’s best, Wu hopes to use her time in California as a learning experience. 

“I’m excited to see them [the top LPGA competitors], see how they play the course and really just learn off of them,” said Wu. “Because it’s my first pro event I’m not gonna think too much about the result. I’m just going to go out there and have fun and enjoy it as much as I can – no expectations.”

Episode 3 of The 35 — WRUF 98.1’s summer countdown of the greatest athletes in University of Florida history — aired Thursday and delivered five names that are already generating debate. Carlos Alvarez, “The Cuban Comet,” joined the show in studio. A College Football Hall of Famer who set SEC sophomore receiving records in 1969 that still stand more than 55 years later, Alvarez made the case for why the pre-Spurrier era deserves more respect in the Florida football conversation.

Here’s who made the cut at No. 25 through No. 21:

The Greatest Gators Moments Bracket also revealed its third quadrant Thursday. Two new matchups are now live — the 2006 Football National Championship vs. Tim Tebow’s Heisman (2007), and the 2017 College World Series Title vs. Steve Spurrier’s Heisman (1966).

The 35: Greatest Gators of All Time. Thursdays 2–3 p.m. on WRUF 98.1. May 14 through July 2.

The Southeastern Conference announced the game times and television schedule for the Gators’ first three games of the 2026 season on Wednesday.

Florida kicks off the Jon Sumrall era in The Swamp against Florida Atlantic on Sept. 5 at 7:45 p.m. on SEC Network.

Sumrall’s first game as Florida’s coach marks a potential turning point after the rollercoaster ending to Billy Napier’s tenure in Gainesville.

The Gators are 4-0 all-time against the Owls. Their most recent matchup came in 2021 under then-head coach Dan Mullen, when Florida earned a 35-14 victory in The Swamp.

In Week 2, Florida hosts Campbell on Sept. 12 at 5:30 p.m. on SECN+. The matchup will mark the first meeting between the two programs. Campbell finished the 2025 season 2-10 overall and 2-6 in CAA play, with wins over Bryant and Hampton.

Florida then hits the road for the first time in 2026, traveling to Auburn for a 7 p.m. matchup on ESPN in Week 3 to begin its nine-game SEC schedule.

The Gators and Tigers have not faced each other in SEC play in seven years. The last meeting came in Gainesville, where Florida secured a 24-13 victory.

Florida’s 2025 season was filled with frustration, including the program’s worst start since 1986 at 1-3, a stunning upset loss to USF, Dallas Wilson’s foot injury, DJ Lagway’s five-interception performance against LSU and a seemingly endless stream of third-and-long screen passes.

Sumrall hopes to erase those memories and bring a fresh start to Gainesville.

The new Florida coach got to work immediately after taking the job, balancing responsibilities at both Tulane and Florida for three weeks while rebuilding his staff. Sumrall brought in Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner, offensive line coach Phil Trautwein and Kentucky defensive coordinator Brad White.

One of the biggest questions entering the season remains Florida’s starting quarterback battle.

After Lagway transferred to Baylor, the Gators were left searching for a new starter. Tramell Jones Jr. spent the 2025 season backing up Lagway and did not make a start under Napier or interim coach Billy Gonzales. Jones threw for 191 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in appearances against Long Island and Kentucky.

His main competition is Georgia Tech transfer Aaron Philo.

Philo arrived in Gainesville largely because of his familiarity with Faulkner after serving primarily as the backup to current Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Haynes King at Georgia Tech. In 2025, Philo threw for 373 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Jones and Philo split the majority of first-team reps during the Orange and Blue spring game in April, alongside true freshman Will Griffin and redshirt junior Aidan Warner.

As the 2026 season approaches, optimism is building among Florida fans eager to see the program’s new direction take shape on opening day.

Episode 2 of The 35 revealed No. 30 through No. 26 on WRUF 98.1’s countdown of the greatest athletes in University of Florida history — and the names came with instant arguments. Errict Rhett, one of the most productive running backs in Gators history, joined Jeremy St. Louis, Kevin Winter and Shemar Woods as the guest for Episode 2.
