GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Thursday afternoon Florida softball Head Coach Tim Walton announced the addition of Jocelyn Erickson to the program. Erickson, a transfer from Oklahoma, just completed her freshman season with the Sooners.
“We are thrilled that Jocelyn decided to join our program,” Walton said. “She is a competitor that has achieved success at every level because of her work ethic and knowledge of the game. We can’t wait to have Jocelyn join us this fall and be a part of her journey to becoming the best version of herself on the field and in the classroom.”
