Langworthy Returns to Gators as Student Assistant Coach

Langworthy played in 198 games for the Gators from 2017-20 and helped Florida capture the program's first-ever national title as a freshman.


GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Former Florida outfielder Austin Langworthy is returning to the Gators as a student assistant coach for the 2022 season.

"We are excited to welcome Austin back to Gator Nation as an integral part of our coaching staff for the 2022 season," head coach Kevin O'Sullivan said. "Austin exemplified the qualities we look for at Florida during his four years as a player here, and I have no doubt he will continue to bring value to our program as a student assistant coach while he works on the completion of his degree."

Langworthy, who was a mainstay in the Florida outfield from 2017-20, joins the Gators coaching staff after a brief run with the Detroit Tigers organization as a player from 2020-21. After going undrafted in the 2020 MLB Draft, Langworthy signed with Detroit as a free agent.

Perhaps best remembered for his 11th inning walk-off home run vs. Auburn in Game 3 of the 2018 Super Regionals, Langworthy appeared in 198 games including 195 starts over the course of his four-year run with the Gators. He finished his career with a .270/.369/.413 batting line, totaling 19 home runs, five triples, 36 doubles, 130 runs, 106 RBI and 20 stolen bases.

Langworthy made 53 starts as a freshman in 2017 as the Gators captured their first-ever national title, and later started 16 games in left field during the 2020 campaign in which Florida went 16-1 and finished the year as the nation's No. 1 team. During that 2017 campaign, Langworthy was named a Second Team Freshman All-American by Perfect Game while also garnering College World Series All-Tournament Team honors. In 2019, he was tabbed to the NCAA Lubbock All-Regional Team.

The Williston, Fla. native also held status as a two-way talent, pitching in 18 games from 2017-19 with a 3.34 ERA across 32.1 innings pitched.

Also accomplished off the diamond, Langworthy was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll in each of his four years at Florida.

Maybe the toughest one to figure out heading into Wednesday:

Gators Receive National Rankings Ahead of 2022 Season
It's the eighth consecutive season that Florida has received preseason top 10 national rankings in both major polls.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The Florida softball program has received multiple Top 10 national rankings heading into the 2022 season. UF was tabbed No. 6 in the 2022 USA Today/NFCA DI Top 25 Preseason Coaches' Poll and No. 5 in the 2022 ESPN.com/USA Softball Preseason Collegiate Top 25 poll.

Additionally, the Gators also received a No. 5 ranking in the D1Softball.com Top 25 Poll and ranked No. 6 in Softball America's 2022 NCAA Preseason Top 25.

The pair of national rankings issued by the NFCA and USA Softball mark the eighth-consecutive season that Florida will start its season nationally ranked inside the top 10. The Gators have also been nationally ranked inside the top 25 of both polls for 217 consecutive weeks, a mark that dates back to 2007.

Florida's 2022 schedule also boasts eight teams that have received preseason top 25 rankings. The program is set to take on No. 2/2 Alabama, No. 4/6 Florida State, No. 8/9 Arkansas, No. 16/13 Michigan, No. 14/15 LSU, No. 22/16 Tennessee, No. 20/18 Duke and No. 17/22 James Madison.
Historically the Gators have fared well when facing ranked opponents. UF holds a record of 345-261 (.569) against competition ranked in the USA Today/NFCA Top 25 and is 303-172 (.638) against teams ranked in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25.

Those marks only improve under the leadership of Head Coach Tim Walton as squads holds records of 281-132 (.680) and 277-134 (.674) against opponents ranked in the USA Today/NFCA and ESPN.com/USA Softball polls respectively.

This year the program returns a plethora of players from last year's squad, which includes NFCA All-Americans Charla Echols, Hannah Adams and Elizabeth Hightower. That trio anchors a group of 16 returning contributors from last season, along with the addition of 2021 transfer Skylar Wallace and six newcomers.

Entering their first year with the program is graduate transfer Marissa Mesiemore, and freshmen Cali Decker, Lexie Delbrey, Kendra Falby, Sam Roe and Reagan Walsh. Roe, a catcher, joined the program this January as an early enrollee and Mesiemore is a graduate transfer from FGCU.

Florida opens its 2022 season Friday, Feb. 11, at 5:30 p.m. against Illinois State in Tampa, Fla. at USF's tournament. The program's first home game is set for Wednesday, Feb. 16, at 6 p.m. against Jacksonville.

Tragedy when losing children caused by illegals.
Bait and switch Biden crushes another voter.

hes a GATOR!!

👹👹

I love this time of the year and I do mean LOVE this time of the year. As the door closes on ALL THESE 22 kids so many more are about to open on the 23's. That is the No 1 thing I am looking forward to the most about the next 24-hours. All the games, stories, nonsense of the last 12-months are soooo close to being over - there is no more hiding, no more games, no more putting off your decision - NSD Eve has finally arrived. This is the way. lol

SO many things being posted. I don't want to miss any questions, comments, or concerns so for today I will live in this thread for a Recruiting Q & A. Fire when ready...........

I believe it was 3pm Wednesday but now it’s 4:30. I have no sources but I feel like he ends up a GATOR.

I wonder who will take his place??

My picks

1 .Corn Pop
2. Crack head son as he's the smartest person Dementia Joe has ever met
3. Wild Card... Whoever the CCP tells him to nominate

Whoever it is they will have to put the name on the teleprompter as there is no chance this mentally challenged moron will remember it on the 15 foot walk to the podium

Anyone have info on tv schedule for signing day, live commitments, etc?

please delete thread...thanks!

Go Gators!

It really seems like Jack Pyburn is trending pretty strongly to UF (especially with the last visit, and his parents) .....

So combine a defensive class .... with

Shemar James
Harold Perkins
Jack Pyburn

I know Pyburn seems like a DE .... but he also screams LB too ..... these are some rough / tough/ physical and FAST players

Kamari Wilson
Devin Moore
Jacoby Matthews


That's a hell of a group -- and for a transition class, those 'seem' like players that would get a hell of a lot of PT and production !!!!

Announcement Times:

DJ Allen announces at 2:00 Tuesday

Jack Pyburn announces at 3:30 Tuesday

Wednesday:

Miguel Mitchell 9:00am

Jalen Farmer 9:00am

Top 3:

Harold Perkins: UF/LSU/JSU
Jordan James: UF/Ore/UGA

My MLL in order (changes hourly):
M.McCoy (Think the Kid likely would have signed early if we had let him)
J.James (Everything I've said about slowplaying Dudley and others that hurt UF, here we are on the other side)
DJ Allen (TCU commit for so long, does not sign early and then takes this UF visit)
Perkins (Could go in several directions, fingers crossed for next Wed)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mathews (Great visit to UF, late visit to LSU may be tough to overcome)
Boardingham (Oregon may not take, lets see if visits them this weekend)
E.Winston (Visited Washington last weekend, they seem optimistic)
C.Douglas (LSU trending up, closer to home, can KC bring this one home, Spiegelman put in a LSU futurecast to LSU last night)
K.Henry (its kind of late to make a 1st impression, seems happy with Oklahoma option)
D.Lewis (If he visits this weekend, anything can happen, made it through Bama OV without committing)
C.Story (his Auburn coach now at Clemson will be tough to overcome, we also hesitated in offering)
Citizen (Aub-LSU battle)

Was curious to see how some former Gators hoopsters who portalled out are doing this year. Locke is shooting 35.1% from the field, 36.6% from 3 pt range, 66.7% FTs, and averaging 9.8 pts per game in 26 minutes per game for L’ville. All career lows except points per game he was 9.4 ppg 3 years ago. Otherwise all career lows. Hmmm.

Allen to TCU as expected.
