Jade Caraway is an excellent Division I softball player.
The now-senior center fielder started her career at NC State, where she led the team in batting average (.389) and the ACC in total hits her freshman year. In her sophomore season for the Wolfpack, Caraway trumpeted a perfect stolen base percentage, finishing 13 for 13 on the season.
She made an immediate impact upon transferring to the SEC. Caraway scored the game-winning run for Florida seven times in her first season. Last year, she managed a seven-game hit streak in a shortened 27-game season. Luckily for Florida, Caraway decided in April to use her extra year of eligibility, granted by the NCAA in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and return to Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium for one last season.
