Indiana freshman Jada Ellison brings speed, pressure, and proven on-base value to the Hoosiers’ outfield
Ellison is an intriguing fit because her game is built around impact speed and relentless pressure: Indiana lists her as a left-handed hitter/right-handed thrower who set her high school program’s stolen-base record and posted a .479 travel-ball average with 44 steals in 2024. She was also named to Softball America’s Freshman Watch List and earned All-Area first-team honors, signaling real national upside. For a roster, she looks like the kind of outfielder who can change innings with her legs, get on base, and elevate the energy in a lineup.
