MOBILE, Ala. | Freshman outfielder Presley Lively was named to the D100 Freshman Watch List on Wednesday as announced by DI Softball.

The D100 Freshman Watch List is a true watch list where players are listed alphabetically by team with no numbered rankings attached. The watch list puts an early spotlight on true freshmen who could make an immediate impact on their respective teams. The 2025 D100 Freshman Watch List includes players representing 50 different programs.

Each week during the college softball season, D1Softball will award a National Freshman of the Week. A Freshman All-American team will be announced and awarded following the regular season.

Lively enters her first season in Mobile after wrapping up a stellar prep career at Helena High School in Helena, Ala. She was named the 6A Hitter of the Year as a senior where she also earned first-team all-state honors each of her final two seasons

Lively ended her prep career holding program career marks in stolen bases (165) and runs scored (204), and single-season marks in hits (82 – 2024), runs scored (75 – 2024) and stolen bases (67 – 2023), while posting a .515 career batting average with 233 hits. As a senior, recorded a .550 batting average with 82 hits, 13 doubles, 13 triples, four home runs, 75 runs scored and 47 RBI, to go along with a .620 on-base percentage.
