Arkansas Stars Herron, Johnson Earn AUSL Reserve Pool Spots Ahead of 2026 College Draft

Razorbacks standouts secure provisional draft rights as pro softball pipeline expands, with draft set for May 4 on ESPN2

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. | Two of the most decorated players in Arkansas Razorbacks softball history are one step closer to the professional ranks. Senior pitcher Robyn Herron and senior outfielder Reagan Johnson have been selected as provisional picks in the 2026 AUSL College Draft and named to the AUSL Reserve Athlete Pool, the league announced Sunday.

The designation gives AUSL franchises the rights to these players while offering immediate flexibility through the reserve system — a pathway that allows athletes to be called up during the season, particularly when rostered players compete internationally in events such as the Japan Diamond League.

Herron Cementing Legacy in the Circle

Herron leaves Arkansas as one of the most dominant pitchers in program history. Across 111 career appearances and 73 starts, the left-hander has compiled 52 wins, a 2.18 ERA, and 554 strikeouts — while holding opposing hitters to a program-record .180 batting average.

Her ability to dominate lineups has been a constant. Herron has recorded 16 career games with 10 or more strikeouts, tying a program record previously held by Mary Haff.

In 2026, she has elevated her performance even further, posting a 14-4 record with a 1.99 ERA and 144 strikeouts in just over 91 innings. Nationally, she ranks among the top pitchers in strikeouts per seven innings (5th), fewest hits allowed per seven innings (14th), and saves (15th), underscoring her versatility and elite command.
