Rylee Gaustad is a versatile Vikings sparkplug with real pop and table-setting upside
In the 2026 season, Portland State has used Rylee Gaustad as a reliable multi-position weapon, with the roster listing her as an outfielder and a February preview noting she started 18 games at shortstop in 2025[1][3]. Her profile stands out because she brings athletic versatility, clutch contact, and a little extra thump—she hit her first career home run, a two-run shot, against Idaho State in April 2026[2][4]. That blend of defensive flexibility and emerging offense makes her a useful fit for teams that value adaptability, energy, and a player who can keep improving without needing the spotlight to do damage[1][2][9].
