One-Handed Player Zach Hodskins commits to Florida

Zach Hodskins, who was born without the lower half of his left arm, committed to Florida on Saturday as a preferred walk-on.

"It's always been my dream growing up," Hodskins said. "I never expected it to be like this, but the hard work has paid off. I'm ecstatic I'm going to be a Florida Gator."

"I'm coming on as a preferred walk-on, but I'll be treated like every other player," Hodskins said. "If I work hard, Coach Donovan told me I'll have a chance to play."

Florida (29-8) lost in the Elite Eight to Michigan last season.
