The two-time defending champions are adding wins to the recruiting trail. Michaela Landers, the top-ranked 2028 recruit, committed to Texas on Friday after taking visits to Austin, Florida and Oklahoma.
Landers brings a rare blend of international pedigree and true five-tool ability to the table. Her defensive tools jump off the page — elite arm strength paired with clean, efficient arm action, lightning-quick reactions, and range that grades out as plus-plus.
She's not just a glove-first player, though: at the plate, she combines legitimate raw power with plus speed, giving her the rare ability to drive the ball out to any part of the field while also creating havoc on the bases. Given her track record on the international stage, she projects as a player who can step in and contribute right away.
