"It’s with great excitement we announce our 2024 class," said Rittman. "This class is made up of competitive and dynamic student-athletes who will complement and improve the quality of our team both on and off the field. It’s a strong, well-balanced group of young women who all share the vision and values of Clemson Softball. The following six players will make an immediate impact and add a tremendous amount of versatility to our lineup offensively, defensively and in the pitching circle.
