CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson Softball Head Coach John Rittman announced the addition of four players to the 2024-25 roster on Wednesday. The Tigers will welcome transfers Reese Basinger (Winthrop), Jamison Brockenbrough (Tennessee) and Brook Melnychuk (LA Tech) to the team this fall, as well as adding incoming freshman Marian Collins.
“It’s with great excitement we complete our 2024-25 roster,” said Rittman. “The addition of these four student-athletes will bring an added layer of competition and versatility to our lineup. The three transfers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our locker room, and we are thrilled to see the growth and impact Marian will have as a Tiger. These four share the vision and values of Clemson Softball, and we could not be happier to welcome them to the Clemson Family.”
