Paige Vukadinovich is a speedy 2022 outfielder/second baseman who her club coach, Greg Dickel of Iowa Premier, described as being a fast-rising player with “5-tool capabilities as she can slap and swing away.”
This summer Paige batted .425 with an .813 slugging percentage as she used her skills to smack eight doubles, an amazing 16 triples, four home runs and 51 RBIs in her 57 hits.

How did Ole Miss first find out about you?
My travel ball coaches told Ole Miss about me and they decided to come out and watch me play. They ended up taking a very strong interest in me and followed me around to most of my games during the summer. Towards the end of my season, Head Coach Jamie Trachsel reached out to me, and we had a few conversations over the phone; then, eventually in person at the end of my season. She ended up asking me to go on a visit and from the rest is history!
When and how did they offer?
Coach Trachsel and Assistant Coach Katie Rietkovich Browder sat me down after my visit on Tuesday (August 3, 2021) and offered me a spot on the team in the lobby at the Ole Miss Inn my Dad and I stayed the night at.
How did you commit to them, was it on campus? On the phone? Some other way?
I committed over the phone first thing Wednesday morning after my visit on Tuesday! My Dad and I wanted to talk with my Mom before making any decisions. It was really important for me to talk with all of my family because I wanted it to be a family decision.
