The Texas native was selected by the Volts of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League from the Reserve Athlete Pool. She will be joining the Volts during the AUSL's inaugural season. Former Longhorns legend Cat Osterman is the general manager for the Volts. Currently, the ASLU consists of four teams that are touring across the country. The teams compete in a 24-game regular season, followed by a three-game championship series. After one year without a host city, that will change in 2026. Then, the league is expected to move to a city-based league. They will have help from MLB, which has invested heavily in the league. As the league grows, Scott will be one of the most well-known players. The former Longhorn is coming off a stellar college career. In 225 games, the Angleton High School product posted a .402 batting average while driving in 186 runs. She also made headlines with her power, as 99 of her 314 hits went for extra base. During her time at Texas, Scott also added to her trophy case. That includes multiple All-American and Women's College World Series All-Tournament Team honors. Regardless of the opponent, Scott was a force at the plate and one of the best at her position in the country. While her statistics go on for pages, Texas underwent one of its best runs during Scott's tenure. With the Longhorns, Scott reached the Women's College World Series Championship series three times. Her defensive skills helped make the magic number the third time. Now, she will look to build on her success in the next chapter of her softball career. Regardless of the future, Scott, a Longhorn legend, will have many eyes watching where her professional career takes her. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @LonghornsWire.
