Kelly Maxwell enters transfer portal; 5 landing spots for ace聽
2. Texas
The softball world was flipped upside down when former Oklahoma Sooners star pitcher Jordy Bahl announced her transfer to her home state Nebraska Cornhuskers. With that as the backdrop, it is understandable that many fans now expect a star player to want to return to their home state to bring success back to the region. That would be the case for Maxwell if she decided to join the Longhorns team.
A native of Friendswood, Texas, Maxwell should know a lot about the Texas program and its rich history. Also, given her experience in the Big 12, Maxwell would be able to easily transition to the program while likely bringing over similar success. The Longhorns had a successful year last year making it to the super-regional round and did so with a young pitching staff. With the addition of Maxwell, Texas would not only add an experienced arm with many important Big 12 games under their belt but also give the team a true ace as they try to knock off rival Oklahoma.
