Gainesville, FL (July 6, 2025) – The Florida Gators have reignited their offseason momentum, announcing the addition of All-SEC third baseman Andrew Fischer, a former Ole Miss standout, via the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Fischer, a Sidney, Ohio product who began his career at Duke before joining the Rebels in 2024, brings a robust offensive skillset to Florida’s infield. In his lone season with Ole Miss, he posted a .285 batting average over 55 games, clubbing 20 home runs, driving in 57 runs, and compiling 59 hits with a .999 OPS—earning Second Team All-SEC honors.
According to Gators Network on X, Fischer was officially hosted over the weekend and is now expected to fill the third base vacancy in Gainesville ([si.com][2]). His power and experience are set to provide a significant upgrade to Florida’s lineup.
Immediate setup: With his SEC track record, Fischer steps into a veteran role, aiming to bolster Florida’s run production and infield presence.
Gators’ portal strategy: Fischer marks yet another win in Florida’s active portal approach. Earlier this summer, they added former Miami utility Blake Cyr, Texas Tech’s Landon Stripling, Jacksonville’s Justin Nadeau, along with pitchers Michael Ross and Billy Barlow, among others.
Impact on SEC narrative: His move from Oxford to Gainesville adds extra intrigue when these teams clash—a storyline that coaches and fans will be watching closely.
