The 2020 and 2021 recruiting classes for the Oklahoma Sooners softball team were absolutely special. Five players remain from those classes.
[autotag]Kinzie Hansen[/autotag] and [autotag]Rylie Boone[/autotag] from the 2020 class and [autotag]Jayda Coleman[/autotag], [autotag]Nicole May[/autotag] and [autotag]Tiare Jennings[/autotag] from the 2021 class. All five have a chance to win a national championship every year they’ve been eligible for one. The end of the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID pandemic.
All five have played major roles on those championship teams.
Coleman was asked if she’s taken a step back to reflect on the unprecedented success they’ve had so far. “I feel like we truly just find joy in the grind,” Coleman said. “It is truly fun to grind throughout the fall and even this time so when you get in the World Series, you feel so confident. Because you know that there is no one that has worked harder than you. Just the joy that this group has and like she was saying, we live for the Lord. So, when we know that it’s already written, we can just go out there and have a blast.”
The Sooners start their season on Thursday with a doubleheader and have four games from Thursday to Saturday in the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge. They then will have nearly a week off before they hit the diamond again to continue their title defense.
