Mackenzie Puckett isn’t your average high school softball player. Rather than just playing the games and going to practice when she’s required, Puckett made softball her life.
She has worked tirelessly on her craft, and it has paid off in the biggest of dividends: a college scholarship. This isn’t just any college scholarship, either. Puckett has a full ride to Florida State University, one of the top softball schools in the nation.
In addition to the FSU scholarship, Puckett also received offers from the University of Florida, Auburn, and North Carolina, which easily makes her the most sought after recruit in Cairo High School’s history.
Not only is she a great athlete and hard worker on the field, but she is also a model student who participates in five different clubs and boasts a 4.0 GPA.
We sat down with Puckett to discuss her hard work and her future at Florida State.
