Tennessee softball head coach Karen Weekly has announced five signees for the program's 2026 recruiting class.
The newest Lady Vols include Halle Bailey, Maggie Krause, Amani Mcfield, Bailee Shelton and Avary Stockwell.
Rated the No. 5 class by D1Softball and No. 6 by On3/Softball America, three of the Lady Vols' signees are featured in the top 30 On3 rankings for the class of 2026.
Stockwell is 17th overall in the nation and places No. 2 at her third base/catcher and No. 1 in the state of Tennessee.
Shelton comes in at No. 25 nationally, eighth at pitcher and No. 2 in Tennessee, while Bailey is the 27th-ranked prospect in the country, No. 11 utility player and No. 3 in the Volunteer State.
"In the 2026 class, we targeted a LHP and position players who brought athleticism and versatility to the program," Weekly said. "We feel like we hit the jackpot. These young ladies are the perfect fit for the Lady Vol softball culture and the style of softball we want to play. Most importantly, they are exceptional students and committed to being the best versions of themselves far beyond the softball field. We can't wait to get them on campus."
