Adanna Merritt '22 Recruiting Profile

Why Me? Why am I different? What makes me stand out from the thousands of girls that love softball like I do? Work ethic and determination! Softball has given me the outlet to use my competitiveness and grit to help my team. I will always put my team first and it is what pushes me to be the best I can achieve. This is a game of learning and it always has something to teach us. I believe what you put in is what you get out, that is why I have the drive to always get better both academically and athletically. I want to find my place in a competitive program where I can be a valuable part of a team and academically prepare myself for a graduate law program.

Who am I: I am the one who stands out; I have been the girl that plays football with the boys, not just a kicker, but a starting running back! I am the one who breaks barriers. I want to be the role model for the little girls that are told they cannot do something. I will succeed, because I will not quit!
