21 Oct
Summary
- Holden plays flag football more than softball in high school.
- She committed to the University of Florida softball program.
- Holden is a top recruit in the 2028 class.
Kylie Holden, ranked as the No. 2 player in the 2028 recruiting class by Softball America, has committed to the University of Florida softball program. Holden, who also plays volleyball and basketball, often prioritizes high school flag football over softball due to overlapping spring seasons. Her father, Carl Holden, coaches her flag football team at Ocoee High School, where she excels as a quarterback and safety.
Despite her high school choices, Holden harbors a deep love for softball, inspired by her mother, Kamilah Johnson, a former college catcher. Holden first played softball at age 8 and fell in love with the sport immediately. Coach Tim Walton has been recruiting her since she was 12, making Florida her primary choice over Ole Miss.
Holden is set to join an elite Florida recruiting class, anticipating it will be the No. 1 class of 2028. She views playing with top talent as crucial for her development as both an athlete and an individual, emphasizing her desire to always be surrounded by the best.
