Columbia-area sophomore is first in-state commit for Clemson softball program

Gray Collegiate’s Carsten Puckett will have a chance to be part of Clemson’s new softball program.

The sophomore verbally committed to play for the Tigers on Friday. She is the first in-state commit for the Tigers, who will begin play in 2020 under coach John Rittman

Puckett recently attended a camp at Clemson and made an unofficial visit.

“Clemson softball is something that my family has been waiting on. Since we heard rumors of the new program starting, I knew I was going to go after a spot on that team with everything I had. It’s going to be something really special and I’m very thankful to be a part of it.
