GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- The NCAA last month unveiled its groundbreaking new eligibility rules, which give student-athletes five years to play five full seasons without having to redshirt. As a result, eligibility has changed for a large portion of the Florida Gators' baseball roster.It is important to note that players who have redshirted in a previous season do not stand to benefit from the new rules, and waivers for additional years are also eliminated. Additionally, years of eligibility are not an indication of whether a player will use every season at Florida, with the NCAA Transfer Portal still in effect.Players who have not previously redshirted are also able to follow the previous eligibility rules if that is more beneficial to them. After taking a look at how the new rules affect both the football and the basketball team, Florida Gators on SI takes a look at where the baseball roster stands following the rule changes.Final Year of EligibilityAs a result of the new rules, Florida will have no true fifth-year seniors on the roster.Two Years of EligibilityLandon Stripling (13) and Caden McDonald (21) headline Florida's fourth years in 2027. | Kyle Lander / Florida Gators on SIPlayers in this group are either redshirt juniors, who are not affected by the rules, or rising seniors who now receive an additional year of eligibility.
