STILLWATER — Kelly Maxwell is entering her redshirt senior season in 2023, but she is already committed to returning for a sixth year with the program in 2024.

Maxwell, the Oklahoma State softball team’s ace pitcher, is able to return for the extra season because of COVID. She redshirted in 2019 and her shortened 2020 season didn’t count toward her eligibility because of the pandemic. So, 2021 was technically her freshman season. Entering 2023, Maxwell already sits in the top 10 in program history in strikeouts (517) and shutouts (24).

“I have the whole rest of my life to work,” said Maxwell at OSU’s media day Friday.
