Erin Blackburn '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Erin Blackburn.  I graduate in 2023 from Farmersville High School in Farmersville TX.  I plan on majoring in Physical Therapy in college and further pursue my love for the game of softball.  My family plays a large role in why I love the sport and give me great support and encouragement.  I started playing softball when I was 4 years old and have increased a love for the sport the more I play.  I began catching when I was 9, but I was thrown back there and it made me love the game a million times more.  My primary position before catching was middle infielder and my secondary was outfield, but now my primary is  catching and secondary positions are middle infielder and outfield.  Throughout my softball career, I have learned life lessons that will carry into my adulthood.  I believe when bonds are created, so is leadership, teamwork and character.  Academically, I am in every class as if it was giving a 110% on the softball field.  I push myself to be a better player and person every chance I get.  I feel I can make an immediate impact at the next level and look forward to doing whatever I can to help the program reach our goals.
