Texas softball has a lot to look forward to.

Head coach Mike White announced this week that the program finished with one of the top four recruiting classes of 2026. That’s according to a recent post by Texas Athletics.

“The decorated class includes Annie Abdullah, Jordynn Booe, Josie Busceme, Mia Clemmer, Madi Doty, Aubrey Portie and Stevie South. All seven will join Texas as freshmen during fall 2026.”

“We’re excited to announce the high school graduating class of 2026,” said White, per Texas Athletics. “It is a class loaded with talent covering all the major areas in the game, including pitching, catching, infield and outfield. We’re excited to welcome them to the Longhorn family. The future remains bright for the program.”
