Ole Miss Bolsters Pitching Staff with Southern Illinois Transfer Hailey Lucas for 2027 Softball Season

After a standout freshman campaign, Hailey Lucas brings a 2.53 ERA, 94 strikeouts, and three years of eligibility to Jamie Trachsel's rapidly reloaded Rebels roster.

OXFORD, Miss. | Ole Miss softball continues to reshape its roster for another run at SEC contention, adding one of the Missouri Valley Conference's most promising young pitchers.

Head coach Jamie Trachsel announced the signing of Hailey Lucas, a standout transfer from Southern Illinois, giving the Rebels another proven arm with three seasons of NCAA eligibility remaining.

Lucas arrives in Oxford after an impressive freshman season in which she emerged as the Salukis' ace, immediately establishing herself as one of the conference's top young pitchers.

Freshman Season Showcased Elite Potential

Lucas wasted little time making an impact during her first collegiate season.

The Palatine, Illinois, native led Southern Illinois with 116.0 innings pitched, finishing the year with:

  • 9-7 overall record
  • 2.53 ERA
  • 94 strikeouts
  • Only 28 walks
  • Eight complete games

Her durability and command helped anchor a Southern Illinois pitching staff that finished with a 2.91 team ERA, while her 116 innings ranked 11th in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Those numbers immediately positioned Lucas among the conference's most reliable young pitchers and made her one of the most coveted arms in the NCAA transfer portal.
