TAMPA, Fla., May 7, 2024 – When USF softball center fielder Jordyn Kadlub was small, her father saw the future. The speed, the instincts, the athleticism … it was all there. He joked with his wife that they wouldn't need to worry about university tuition. One day, she would thrive in a college sport.
