I’ am living for good,Oklahoma Softball QB Chaney Helton announces intent to enter….

NORMAN — On Wednesday, head softball coach Patty Gasso of the University of Oklahoma announced the addition of eight new players to the team’s 2024 recruiting class. The Sooners will welcome Sydney Barker, Gabbie Garcia, Chaney Helton, Audrey Lowry, Corri Hicks, Kadey McKay, Tia Milloy, and Riley Zache as freshman in 2025.

Helton and McKay will remain in their native Oklahoma, Barker and Hicks will join the Sooners from California, Garcia is from Arizona, Milloy is from Washington, Lowry will travel southwest from Indiana, and Zache is from Michigan. These eight signees span three time zones and six states. Oklahoma’s top-tier 2024 recruiting class includes many state titles, all-conference, all-state, and All-America awards.

The way these athletes lead their teams on the field makes them stand out right away. “There are so many leaders in this class,” Gasso said. They have a lot of passion, are quite talkative, and are very knowledgeable about the game. At the collegiate level, these athletes all possess extraordinary athletic ability and promise. The ability to play excellent defense and produce enough at the plate to be in this lineup is what I look for in athletes.
