Florida Gators News: Mia Williams finds a new home, Malcolm Clemons wins title, more

Former Florida Gator 2B Mia Williams has officially found her new home via the transfer portal. The key cog in softball's lineup for 2025 hit the portal after the season in a somewhat surprising move.

But in the modern era of the transfer portal, nothing winds up being too shocking, as Williams has wound up at Texas Tech for the 2026 season.

Williams announced the move on social media.

Texas Tech has been ramping up its NIL spending across all sports and burst onto the softball scene this past season after being a historically dormant program. The Red Raiders wound up within one game of winning the WCWS and are expected to be one of the favorites to make it back to Oklahoma City next season.

Malcolm Clemons is the national champion in long jump

The outdoor track and field national championships are underway, and the Florida Gators have already had someone climb to the top of the podium.

Malcolm Clemons took first place in the long jump to claim his first ever national title.

Clemons hit 8.04m [26' 4.5"] on his first jump, a personal best of five inches, and that was good enough to claim first.

Leikel Cabrera Gay took second place in the javelin with a throw of 79.05m [259' 4"] on his third throw. That was a personal best of over four feet for Cabrera Gay.

The Gators are sitting in a tie for second after day one with 18 points but have minimal scoring opportunities left, and Florida will more than likely not factor into the final race to the podium.

Aidan King receives recognition

About the only Gator who can say they did well during the NCAA Tournament was Aidan King, and he was honored for his freshman campaign as an NCBWA Freshman All-American.

King went 7-2 in 2025 with a 2.58 ERA and had a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.4.
