Auburn Softball Player Hits Transfer Portal Just Hours After Team’s Elimination
An Auburn softball player has hit the transfer portal just hours after her team was eliminated in the NCAA Tournament.
After just one season with the Tigers, freshman outfielder Jolie Adams has entered the portal. Adams saw limited action in 2025, appearing in only one game.
This decision comes hours after Auburn was eliminated in the NCAA tournament by the Florida State Seminoles. The Tigers' season came to an end on Sunday after falling to the Seminoles 4-0 in Game 7 of the Tallahassee Regional final.
Adams confirmed the decision on X.
After a lot of thought and consideration, I have entered the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility remaining. I will forever be grateful for my time at Auburn and the relationships I made, but looking forward to this new journey! @SoftballPortal pic.twitter.com/2FnvNFkzdX
