As part of Extra Inning Softball’s Voices from the Field series—an ongoing editorial spotlight that gives athletes a platform to reflect on their journeys and share what drives them—2027 utility standout Brynlee Hopkins from Bixby, Oklahoma, is recognized for her extraordinary resilience and Division I-level talent. This series celebrates not just statistics and accolades, but the mindset, preparation, and personal stories behind the performances. Hopkins’ story embodies that mission perfectly.
Through loss, devastation, and life-changing challenges, Hopkins has chosen a path of courage over fear, faith over bitterness, and grit over defeat. Off the field, she is a model of perseverance; on the field, she’s a true five-tool player with the skills and mindset to compete at the highest level.
