MORAGA, Calif. — As is customary, with the 2027 season fast approaching, Saint Mary's Softball already has its sites set on the future, adding the first three members of their incoming crop of 2028 freshmen on National Signing Day. Izzy Frye, Naomi Walker and Jasmyn White will all be names to know ahead of the 2028 season, all officially signing on to be future Gaels today.
Izzy Frye will head north to Moraga from Bakersfield, California. The 5-11 corner infielder prepped for Garces Memorial High School, where she enters her senior campaign with a 0.318 career average, 27 extra base hits and 78 RBI. In her three years playing for the Rams, her team has seen quite the turnaround, from going winless in conference play in her freshman campaign, to going unbeaten en route to a South Yosemite River League Title last year. Not only did Frye guide her squad to a league title in 2026, but she also took them to the CIF Central Section DII Championship game and to the CIF SoCal Regional Semifinals. Frye has already been named league MVP and first team All-Area as a junior, and looks to add to her impressive resume as a senior before coming to Saint Mary's.
"I chose Saint Mary's because of the small school atmosphere that made it feel like home." noted Frye, "Everyone on campus made me feel included, and I felt such a strong sense of community. The softball team immediately welcomed me and I knew I belonged here."
Naomi Walker will be the third Gael in as many years to make her way to Moraga via the Lone Star State. A left hand hitting outfielder from Cypress, Texas, Walker preps at Cypress Ranch HS, where she has hit 0.430 for her career with 38 extra base hits, 93 runs scored and 87 RBI. Walker has been honored as Newcomer of the Year following a freshman campaign in which she hit 0.388, and has gotten better by the year, hitting a whopping 0.489 as a junior in 2026. She has been honored as both an offensive and defensive MVP, and is a standout in the classroom, being named to the honor roll.
On her decision to sign with Saint Mary's, Walker stated, "I chose Saint Mary's, because the town and school felt like a big family. I loved how quaint the area is and it didn't feel overwhelming at all. But what really sold the deal for me was seeing how much the players and coaches genuinely care for each other, that's when I knew this was the place for me."
Rounding out the group is a local product out of nearby Fairfield, California, Jasmyn White. A standout left hand batting middle infielder, White preps at Rodriguez HS, where she has never hit below 0.400 in her prep career. Honored as an all-league honoree in the Monticello Empire League in each of her first three high school seasons, White has a career batting average of 0.461 with 18 extra base hits and 71 runs scored. White led the Mustangs to their first winning season since 2023 last year, and aims to help them to their first league title since 2011 this upcoming season before becoming a Gael.
"The softball staff made me feel very wanted and welcomed when I visited campus." said White, "They also really care about who you are as a person and not just an athlete. It really became a no-brainer decision, especially with how close to home it is."
Frye, Walker and White will join the Gaels for the 2028 season after wrapping up their senior years for their respective high school teams in 2026.
