Kassidy Krupit, the 2018 Extra Inning Softball High School All-American from Georgia and a member of the USA Softball JR. National Team, announced tonight that she is transferring to South Carolina.
Kassidy, who started every game for Baylor this spring, put her name in the transfer portal several weeks ago and had over 60 teams pursuing her.
She also considered Florida State and Auburn, but picked the Gamecocks, telling Extra Inning Softball tonight: “I chose South Carolina because of the growing success of the program, the coaches, the school, and the opportunity of fulfilling my dream of competing in the SEC.”
She posted on her Twitter, Facebook and Instagram the news about her move to the SEC:
I am excited to announce that I am transferring to the University of South Carolina! I can’t wait to fulfill my childhood dream of playing softball in the SEC at such a great school! GO GAMECOCKS! SPURS UP! 🐔🤙🏼
