NiJaree Canady enters transfer portal: 5 possible landing spots
Oklahoma Sooners
Oklahoma is coming off its fourth consecutive national championship and has become the top destination for college softball鈥檚 biggest stars. Canady certainly fits that bill and would be a significant addition for the Sooners while boosting the program鈥檚 chances of winning a fifth straight title. Patty Gasso utilized the transfer portal to bolster her pitching staff last offseason, adding Kelly Maxwell following Jordy Bahl鈥檚 departure who went 23-2 in 2024 with a sub-2.00 ERA. Canady could be the perfect replacement for the graduating Maxwell and help mask the additional loss of senior pitcher Nicole May. She could also form a dynamic duo alongside Kierston Deal while serving as a leader for some young pitchers waiting in the wings in Norman like Paytn Monticelli.
