The Gainesville Sun confirmed reports that Florida Atlantic middle infielder John Martinez has signed with the program.

Earlier in the week, Florida added Utah Tech infielder Kyle McDaniel, who was a first-team All-WAC selection along with freshman All-American pitcher Trey Morris from Oregon State.
McDaniel, who primarily played second base, hit .340, 10 doubles, seven home runs and drove in 52 runs while drawing 43 walks. Morris logged a 1.98 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, 67 strikeouts and 15 walks in over 59 innings.
