Oxford, Mississippi — The softball world is officially on notice. The Ole Miss Rebels have snagged a generational talent, as Hannah Wells, the 2024-2025 Gatorade National Softball Player of the Year, has switched her commitment from Texas to Ole Miss, sending shockwaves through the recruiting world and reigniting excitement in Oxford.
Wells, a strong force on both sides of the ball, guided Coahoma High School to the 3A Division II Texas State Championship, finishing off a remarkable season with a stunning 35-1 record. She was the team’s undeniable heartbeat, displaying an unparalleled combination of power, poise, and pure competitive fire.
In the circle, Wells was almost untouchable. She had an astonishing 22-1 record, with a 0.44 ERA and 258 strikeouts. Her control, velocity, and ability to shut down elite lineups made her a terror for opposition batters. But Wells didn’t stop there; she was just as dangerous at the plate. She batted. 602, 75 RBIs, and 31 home runs set a Texas single-season record—an incredible achievement that puts her in elite company nationally.
With Wells joining the Rebels, expectations are now soaring for what this program can accomplish in the coming years. Her arrival is not only a testament to Ole Miss’s growing national reputation but also a bold message to the rest of the SEC: the Rebels are here to compete—and to win.
The future is bright in Oxford. And with Hannah Wells in red and blue, it just got a whole lot brighter
