There's another portal win for the South Carolina softball team. Former Ole Miss catcher Jamie Mackay has officially committed to the Gamecocks marking the eighth addition to the 2025 transfer class. It is also the second Ole Miss Rebel to flip to South Carolina, following teammate Tate Davis to the Gamecocks. Mackay has one year of eligibility remaining.
Mackay was a key part of the postseason run for the Rebels, appearing in 36 games during the season. She started 20 of those games, batting a .284 with 12 RBIs, 19 hits, two homeruns, and six runs scored. She also delivered one of the most memorable moments of the Women's College World Series, delivering a game-tying 2-RBI single in the seventh inning against Oregon.
In her career, Mackay has a .262 average with six homeruns, 16 doubles, and 37 RBIs in 252 at-bats across three seasons. She is versatile too, starting 45 games in right field in 2024 after spending the majority of her career as a catcher.
Mackay joins a star-studded transfer class that includes:
- Josey Marron (Mississippi State RHP)
- Tori Ensley (NC State OF)
- Tate Davis (Ole Miss INF)
- Alyssa Hovermale (Florida INF)
- Emma Friedel (Kennesaw State P)
- Precious Bross (Georgia INF)
With Mackay now on the roster, Gamecock head coach Ashley Chastain-Woodard continues to build a championship-caliber team. And coming off the program's first-ever Women's College World Series appearance, this Gamecock squad will be ready for another run at a title.
