RUSTON – Louisiana Tech head coach Josh Taylor signed his third transfer portal student-athlete of the summer as infielder Reagan Marchant will be enrolling in classes this fall and joining the Bulldog softball program.
 
Marchant spent the past two seasons playing in the SEC for South Carolina where she red-shirted in 2023 and saw action in 16 games this past year.
 
"I would like to welcome Reagan to our Louisiana Tech softball family," said Taylor.  "She brings with her a strong power bat and an offensive presence that we are looking for.  We feel very strongly that Reagan is a great fit for our program on and off the field.  We are excited to welcome Reagan to Ruston and look forward to our journey together."
 
With three years of eligibility remaining on the college level, Marchant comes to Ruston with an opportunity to make an impact for the Bulldogs over the rest of her career.
 
During her recruiting process coming out of Hilton Head (SC) High School, Marchant chose the Gamecocks over Clemson, Charlotte, and Florida Atlantic according to her bio on the school's website.
 
"It was an easy decision for me to choose LA Tech," said Marchant.  "The coaching staff is amazing, and the facilities are first class.  LA Tech is going to be a great place for me to grow as an athlete and person. I'm excited to be part of a loving and friendly community.  I can't wait to be a Bulldog."
 
During her prep career, she batted .636 with 31 home runs and 113 RBI while scoring 126 runs.  She holds the school career records for batting average, home runs, RBI, runs, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.
 
Marchant was named first team all-state and all-region in 2019, 2021 and 2022 and was also named her team's MVP all three seasons.  She played travel ball for the Florida PGF Nationals.
 
She joins Reese Torres (George Washington) and Addison Snyder (Cal-State Fullerton) as summer signees for the Bulldogs.
 
Taylor said the signing of Marchant complete the Bulldogs roster for 2024-25.
