Alexis Mack, the two-time All-Pac-12 honoree who started her college career at South Carolina before playing at Oregon for two years, is returning to the SEC.
The speedy outfielder announced Thursday on her Twitter page that she would use her final year of eligibility to play for Patrick Murphy’s Crimson Tide team:
I’m so excited to announce that I will be playing my final year and have been accepted into Alabama’s Advertising and PR masters program where I will focus my studies on female athlete representation in sports media! Roll Tide🅰️🐘⚾️ pic.twitter.com/6MxK97FqnR

In 2017, her first in the Pac-12, she hit a team-high .424 which was second in the conference and led the Pac-12 with 28 steals to earn 1st Team Pacific All-Region and 2nd Team All-Pac-12.
She repeated both of those honors as a junior in 2018 when the outfielder used her great speed to hit .369, second-best on the team. Her 24 steals led the Ducks.
But big numbers aren’t unusual for the lefty hitter, who played second base for Brecksville (Ohio) High and didn’t start in the outfield until her sophomore year at Oregon.
Alexis finished her high school career as an All-American and three-time 1st Team NFCA All-Region pick as well as earning 1st Team All-State for three years.
