Gators softball player among top 10 finalists for 2023 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award
The field has been narrowed down to just 10 Division 1 players for the prestigious USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award, which “aims to recognize outstanding athletic achievement by Division I softball players over the course of the entire season.” Among the finalists for the 2023 edition of the honor is Florida Gators infielder Skylar Wallace, who put together a fantastic campaign this spring for the Orange and Blue.
The University of Oklahoma — a perennial powerhouse in the sport — earned three spots on the list while UCLA and Tennessee have two players each. The other schools represented are Clemson, Wichita and, of course, the fighting Gators.
Three finalists will be revealed May 17 and the recipient of the award will be announced prior to the NCAA Women’s College World Series slated for Jun. 1-9 at the USA Softball Hall of Fame Complex.
