UNC softball has built itself quite a transfer class, with Reagan Jennings, MC Eaton, Kendall Frost, Carly Maxton, and Michele Tarpey. The Tar Heels are now adding even more depth to the lineup. Former Virginia Tech infielder Emiley LeGette announced on X on Friday morning that she is joining the program.
