GAINESVILLE, Fla. – D1Baseball unveiled its 2025 Freshman All-America Teams via social media on Tuesday morning, highlighted by Florida right-handed pitcher Aidan King on the First Team and infielder Brendan Lawson on the Second Team.
 
With the announcement, King becomes a Unanimous First Team Freshman All-American by receiving top honors from all four major media outlets (D1Baseball, Baseball America, NCBWA, Perfect Game). Meanwhile, Lawson collected his third total Freshman All-America nod of the offseason.
 
Florida was one of five programs to place multiple players on D1Baseball’s Freshman All-America Teams.
 
Setting a program record with four SEC weekly honors in 2025, King led Florida with a 2.58 ERA, .213 batting average against, 73 1/3 innings pitched, and five quality starts. King delivered the lowest ERA by a Gator across a full season since Brady Singer in 2018 (2.55) while posting a 7-2 record, 1.11 WHIP, 9.7 K/9, and 3.4 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The SEC All-Freshman Team member was nearly untouchable across his final five starts, going 3-1 with a 0.94 ERA, .192 BAA, and 29-to-10 K-to-BB ratio over 28 2/3 innings pitched.
 
Making the Freshman All-SEC Team alongside King, Lawson started 60 of 61 games while hitting .317/.417/.522 for a .939 OPS. The Canadian rookie totaled 10 homers, one triple, 14 doubles, 48 runs, and eight steals while ranking second on the team with 61 RBI. Lawson also finished second on the roster with 15 multi-RBI contests and 23 multi-hit games while seeing action at first, second, and third base.
