Kenleigh Cahalan will have two years of eligibility remaining and will be eligible to compete during the 2025 season.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida softball head coach Tim Walton announced the addition of transfer infielder Kenleigh Cahalan to the program Tuesday afternoon. Cahalan will have two years of eligibility remaining and will compete during the 2025 season.
“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!”
Cahalan, a 2024 All-SEC Second Team selection, owns a career .290 batting average (113-for-390) with 65 runs scored, 24 doubles, five triples, nine home runs, 50 walks and 61 total RBI over 126 games played.
The Trussville, Ala., native has started every game, primarily at shortstop, since her freshman season at Alabama in 2023. The left-handed hitter started her career with a 14-game hit streak, which was the longest by any freshman at Alabama to start their career. She finished her freshman campaign as a National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-South Region Third Team selection.
Cahalan followed her freshman campaign, where she hit .284 (58-for-204), with solid sophomore year where she increased her batting average to .296 (55-for-186) and hit five triples en route to being an All-SEC Second Team selection.
