THE FLATS – Georgia Tech softball’s Addison Leschber, Gracyn Tucker, Makayla Coffield, Kinsey Norton, and Grace Connelly have each been selected to the 2025 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team, the organization announced on Tuesday.
The five Yellow Jackets represent the most honorees for the White and Gold in a single season in program history, topping the four honorees from the 2023 season. For senior Kinsey Norton, this is her third CSC Academic All-District honor (2023, 2024), while for fellow senior Grace Connelly, it is her second (2023).
While under the direction of head coach Aileen Morales, Tech softball has collected this honor 12 times, with three Jackets earning the award in multiple seasons.
To be named Academic All-District, a student-athlete must have maintained a career GPA of 3.5 or higher as well as on-field status as a starter or important reserve.
Leschber and Tucker were the catalysts through the 2025 season as the transfer junior led the team in both batting average and slugging percentage and the red shirt freshman led the group in home runs during her come back season.

During her first ACC Tournament, Leschber went 2 for 2 with three runs scored, one RBI, and six putouts in Round One. Her final home run of the season during Tech’s NCAA Regional run is what kept the Jackets alive in and pushed game one into extra innings against Florida Atlantic.
Tucker served as a powerhouse hitter for Tech through the 2025 season. Her team high 12 home runs helped Tech pick up wins against NC State, Cal, Pittsburgh, UNC, and No. 22 Auburn. Of the Jackets’ four grand slams in 2025, Tucker was responsible for two, the first of which was the third highest ranked opponent Tech has recorded a grand slam against (No. 18 Stanford) and the second against Pittsburgh to help Tech take the ACC series. She finished the season leading the team in runs, hits, RBI, and total bases.
In Coffield’s second season pitching at Tech, she made 23 total appearances, two of which were game starts. Despite only pitching 40.1 total innings in the 2025 season, Coffield was second on the pitching staff for wins (7).
