TROY, Ala. – Troy softball head coach Eric Newell announced Wednesday the addition of Taylor Danford from Enterprise to the Trojan roster beginning with the 2024 season.
Â
"We are looking forward to adding Taylor to our already strong 2023 recruiting class," Newell said. "A left-handed bat and a versatile defender, Taylor is a high school shortstop but has shown in camp settings that she can play nearly anywhere on the field. She is a great fit for our program, and we are excited to see how much she grows in her four years at Troy."
Â
An honorable mention all-state selection for Enterprise High School, Danford hit .366 with only three strikeouts in 82 at-bats as a junior for the Wildcats in 2022. As a sophomore, she hit .459 with 32 RBIs and 44 runs scored after batting at a .444 clip with 10 RBIs as a freshman. In 260 career at-bats, Danford has struck out just 20 times (7.7 percent).
Â
She was named the school's defensive player of the year as a sophomore and helped lead Enterprise to a trio of Regional appearances. In addition to her prowess on the diamond, Danford is also a key player on the Enterprise volleyball team, where she earned Super 12 honorable mention honors this past fall.
