Overview
- Florida’s head coach confirmed that senior Skylar Draser and juniors Ly Bui and Lily Bruce are no longer on the Gators roster but declined to give a reason for their removal.
- Skylar Draser issued a public statement rejecting what she called “hurtful” false narratives, said she will graduate in December, and announced she will enter the NCAA transfer portal as a graduate transfer.
- Anonymous posts on Reddit have circulated claims about an alcohol-related incident involving a freshman and a recruit, but those allegations remain unverified and have not been confirmed by the university or the athletes.
- The departures reduce Florida’s available roster to 15 athletes for the 2027 season, a change that could affect lineup depth and the program’s bid to follow up its third-place finish at the 2026 NCAA Championships.
- Two of the removed gymnasts, Ly Bui and Lily Bruce, were five-star recruits who arrived in 2025 and Bui missed part of 2026 with a knee injury, while Draser is a decorated senior with competitive and academic honors, and further updates from the program are expected.
