There’s a lot to like about Macy Graf.
The junior infielder from Texas was an all-state honoree last year and the lefty-hitting talent has shined for Ed Naudin’s 16U team and now will play up for Kevin Shelton on the Texas Glory’s premier 18U squad.
Macy is appreciative of the opportunity to play with her talented peers.
“Anytime the Texas Glory girls get on the field, the energy immediately increases 10 times and gets me so hyped up and I get excited to play alongside so many great athletes.”
Off the field, the outstanding student-athlete is already focused on what she wants to do after her softball playing days are done as she admits she’d like to be “running my own business and helping the future of softball.”
She’s off to a running start: Macy is already an entrepreneur in the apparel business.
“I have started up my own business at age 16 selling my own brand,” she explains. “It’s called Shady Cowboy. I make hats, shirts, and hoodies.”
Congratulations to Macy Graf (2022 Infielder). Our program is excited to announce that she has now committed to Mississippi State University in the SEC Conference! Macy is an Elite Athlete and Tenacious Competitor.
