Sun Belt Second Team OF with Elite Intensity and Game-Changing Speed
McKinnon Howard, the Alabama-native junior outfielder for Troy Trojans, earned 2025 All-Sun Belt Second Team honors after starting 45 games as the team’s primary OF, showcasing a rare blend of elite speed, defensive reliability, and clutch hitting that turns singles into scoring rallies. Beyond stats, Howard’s defining differentiator is her relentless intensity and ‘loyal to the soil’ mentality—she plays with a fire that elevates teammates and never settles, even in high-pressure tournament games. With no reported injury history and a reputation for leading the team’s returners in 2026, she’s a perfect fit for any team seeking a high-energy, battle-tested OF who brings both skill and soul. Why care? She doesn’t just play softball; she commands it.
