Mia Williams, Florida star and daughter of former NBA standout, reportedly enters transfer portal

Mia Williams was a big part of the reason the Florida softball team made it to the Women’s College World Series this year.

Williams hit .335 with 19 home runs and 44 RBI for the Gators this season, helping them make it to Oklahoma City before falling to SEC rival Tennessee at the WCWS.

Now, though, it seems the daughter of former NBA star Jason Williams is going to explore her options in the transfer portal. It was reported by Pete Nakos on Wednesday night that Williams had entered the portal:

Obviously, replacing someone like Williams would be very tough for the Gators. But in this era of NIL and the portal, it’s not uncommon to see players entering the portal just to see what else is out there.

Is that what Williams is doing? Only time will tell. But it’s probably safe to say Florida will put together its most compelling offer to try to get the star second baseman to stay in Gainesville.

Williams was a second-team All-SEC selection this season, among other honors, and will have 2 years of eligibility remaining wherever she ends up, whether that’s at Florida or another school in 2026 and beyond.
