Jenna Lord’s college softball journey was nothing like what she predicted.
Thankfully, the final chapter was what she always hoped it would be.
The former Hewitt-Trussville High School standout was one of the state’s premier high school players and began her career with high expectations. But her path took unexpected turns — from Alabama to Ole Miss to Texas Tech — before finally landing at Charlotte, where she was named the 2025 American Athletic Conference Player of the Year.
“This last year [was] special to me, because all year I felt gratitude for the sport, where in the past I took it for granted,” Lord said. “Going through adversity — like transferring and dealing with injuries, then having surgery — just brought a new perspective.”

According to research on signing day trends, once-powerhouse programs are producing fewer high-major signees and more D2, JUCO and NAIA placements. In other sports — baseball, wrestling, lacrosse, even track — the scholarship slots are already shrinking. If roster caps go into effect, they may vanish altogether.
Whatever happens next — roster limits, direct pay, new NIL rules — the path for high school athletes is narrowing fast.
"It’s challenging to know which conversations are genuine and which are not,” Hewitt-Trussville running back Deuce Alston told the Cahaba Sun about his ongoing recruitment process.
