Nia Carter is what you might call a table-setter.
An extremely good table-setter.
The former Iowa outfielder announced Arkansas as her destination from the transfer portal on Monday. She hit .479, the third best mark in Division I, last year for the Hawkeyes and will have one season of eligibility left.
Carter’s 101 hits were 22 more than Arkansas’ leading hitter, Reagan Johnson, had in 2023 and her 45 runs would have ranked her second on the Razorbacks.
For her season, Carter was named a third-team All-American. She’ll team alongside Johnson and Raigan Kramer in the Arkansas outfield to give the Hogs one of the best in the country.
“We’re excited the Big Ten’s hits leader is going to be a Razorback,” Arkansas coach Courtney Deifel said. “Nia has proven year in and year out to be one of the most electric players in the game. Her dynamic offense will quickly win over our incredible fan base, and we’re so thrilled she’s chosen Arkansas as her final home.”
