Madi George Named NFCA Second Team All-American
OXFORD, Miss. (Release)– Ole Miss softball’s Madi George has made history, as the freshman was named a second-team All-American by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) on Wednesday.
George becomes the third Rebel to ever earn NFCA All-American honors, joining Kylan Becker in 2019 (first team) and Lauren Grill in both 2010 (third team) and 2008 (first team). George also becomes the first Rebel freshman to ever earn All-American honors.
The award caps off a massive freshman campaign for the Leander, Texas native, who was recently named a freshman All-American by Softball America and took home both NFCA All-South Region first team and All-SEC second team honors. Additionally, George was tabbed as top-10 finalist for the NFCA Freshman of the Year award.
George had a debut season to remember in Oxford, batting .379 with 23 home runs, 63 RBI, 27 walks and 10 doubles. George broke the single-season records at Ole Miss in home runs, RBI, total bases (150) and slugging percentage (.824), ranking among the top hitters in both the SEC and the nation in a number of categories.
In her NCAA Tournament debut, George continued her brilliant hitting, notching a .308 batting average, while adding two home runs and tied for a team-high five RBI over four games.
