I am very excited to play for a team with the knowledge and experience the LSU coaching staff has."
Regarding the players she is looking forward to playing with or having bonded together "On my new team I have two 2024 LSU commits Zoe Calvez and Sa'Mya Jones. Another 2024 commit I Know is Alix Marie, we go way back. We used to be 8u teammates and have stayed in touch over the years. In the 2025 class I know Cali Deal, she's another Louisiana girl and we have played a few times in travel ball over the years."
She says she looked up to past LSU Tigers "Being a fan the last 11 years and going to a bunch of games I've always enjoyed watching Sahvanna Jaquish, Bianka Bell, and Carley Hoover."
