This will be sort of a homecoming for Rhodes who is from Fort Worth.
WELCOME SHANNON! Oregon transfer @ShannonRhodes2 has officially signed her ASA to join the Texas softball program at mid-term prior to the 2019 season! We're so happy to have you as part of the family Shannon! #HookEm

What will Rhodes bring to Texas?
Rhodes is a tenacious player who brings the intangibles a team needs in a leader. She is vocal, scrappy, and produces on offense. The Texas offense struggled last season and will need another veteran bat in the order.
Named Second Team All-Region she drove in 42 RBI, 11 home runs, 6 doubles with 14 stolen bases. FloSoftball ranked Rhodes the No. 6 recruit in the class of 2016.
On defense, she will push her teammates to compete for a spot. Don't be surprised to see the defense shuffled around in February as the Longhorns figure out the best nine on the field.
