Summary
Bri Ellis is a home run machine for the Razorback softball team. But, the Auburn transfer and former SEC Freshman of the Year had quite the journey to Arkansas. Growing up as a young girl in Texas, she dreamed of playing softball for Texas A&M, but sometimes dreams don't play out the way we intend. This episode takes Hog fans through Bri's journey from a girl who thought she'd never play softball again to becoming one of the premiere home run hitters in the SEC.
