Don’t look now, but softball starts in two weeks. You didn’t need us to tell you that. We get you one day closer with Episode #1,006 of In The Circle, powered by SixFour3.

Today’s episode takes us to Gainesville for a look at the Florida Gators. Head coach Tim Walton shares his team’s outlook entering 2026, including a discussion of a smaller, versatile roster and the rigors of playing in the SEC.

You’ll also hear from All-American outfielder Taylor Shumaker, who reflects on what made her 2025 season so successful and how she approaches her at-bats. Plus, the guys have another big announcement heading into next week.
