The Gators welcome the six-foot outside hitter to Gainesville for the 2025 season.
“Both Flor’s talent and experience will be great assets to our program, said Florida’s Head Coach Mary Wise. In her final season of college eligibility, we’re thrilled it will be with the Gators.”
Previously playing in the Athletic Coast Conference (ACC), Heredia Colon was named to AVCA’s East Coast All-Region Team and earned first-team All-ACC honors following her junior year and was a two-time ACC Offensive Player of the Week after leading the league in kills and points for the majority of the season.
She concluded her 2024 campaign with 525 kills and 599.5 points to lead the way for Miami, while her 278 digs and 37 aces ranked second. The six-foot outside hitter appeared in all 120 sets for Miami and recorded 29 double-digit kill matches.
The Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic native comes from a volleyball background, as her mother was a member of the Dominican National Team. Heredia Colon has continued in her footsteps, competing in 12 tournaments for her home nation.
Why Heredia Colon chose the University of Florida
“I wanted to try something new for my last year and meet new peoples and play at a difference stage along stars (my teammates). Coach Wise showed me lots of honesty and has a pure heart. At the end of the day, deep inside my heart I am always a Cane, but today I can say I am happy to be a Gator and continue to do and explore new things in the state that opened doors for me.”
Flor is the fifth newcomer to Florida’s 2025 roster. The Gators have recently announced the additions of Jordyn Byrd and Aniya Madkin and have signed two freshman: De’Andrea McMillian and Devin Dzienny.
