All-American catcher Jasmyn Burns has committed to Texas Tech University, marking a significant addition to the Red Raiders’ softball program. Burns, who played her freshman season at Ohio State, is renowned for her offensive prowess and defensive reliability behind the plate.
In her standout 2025 season, Burns set both Ohio State and Big Ten single-season records with 25 home runs. She also posted a .455 batting average, a 1.546 OPS, and 72 RBIs, earning her a spot on the All-American First Team. Her exceptional performance was instrumental in Ohio State’s success during the season.
Burns’ decision to transfer to Texas Tech adds depth to an already formidable lineup, which includes All-American pitcher NiJaree Canady. Canady, who led the nation with a 0.97 ERA and 317 strikeouts in the 2025 season, has been a cornerstone of the Red Raiders’ pitching staff.
This move is part of Texas Tech’s broader strategy to enhance its softball program, following a historic 2024 recruiting class ranked No. 2 nationally. With Burns’ addition, the Red Raiders are poised to strengthen their roster and continue their ascent in collegiate softball.
Burns’ commitment to Texas Tech signifies a new chapter in her collegiate career, and her presence is expected to make a significant impact on the Red Raiders’ performance in the upcoming seasons.
