GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida freshman outfielder Taylor Shumaker has been named the Southeastern Conference Co-Freshman of the Week, the league announced Tuesday afternoon.

Shumaker led the No. 3 Gators (26-2) to a 3-1 record on the week, including an SEC series victory on the road at No. 5/4 Texas A&M.

She batted a team-best .538 (7-for-13) with eight RBI, two home runs, two doubles, three walks and four runs.

In Florida’s 11-0 victory at Houston on March 5, Shumaker went 3-for-4 at the plate with six RBI, the first Gator freshman to have six RBI in a game since Reagan Walsh in 2022.

Shumaker averaged .444 at the plate against the Aggies in her first SEC series, including a home run in the series opener on March 7.

She currently leads the nation in RBI (46), runs (42) and total bases (88) and is tied for first in home runs (13).

This is Shumaker’s second SEC Freshman of the Week honor and Florida’s third weekly conference honor of the season.

Up next, the No. 3 Gators (26-2) host UCF on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
