Cece Cellura brings veteran poise and a heavy workload to LSU’s circle
In the 2026 season, Cece Cellura has given LSU a durable, high-usage starter who can carry games deep and keep the Tigers competitive against top opponents. She arrived from San Diego State with real résumé juice—19 wins, a 2.28 ERA, 94 strikeouts in 153.2 innings in 2025, plus Mountain West recognition—and she was ranked No. 88 on Softball America’s 2026 Top 100/Freshman Watch List. Her calling card is command and pitchability; the knock is that she’s more finesse than flamethrower, so she fits best with a defense that can cleanly support her contact-heavy style.
