The LSU ace is officially a Sooner, and this is a massive addition as Oklahoma sets its sights on another championship run in 2026.
The Oklahoma Sooners softball program has landed a huge addition with the commitment of LSU ace Sydney Berzon, a two-time All-American and the No. 1 overall player in the transfer portal according to Softball America. Berzon’s decision to join OU bolsters an already dominant squad as they prepare for another championship run in 2026.
Head coach Patty Gasso expressed her excitement, saying,
“Sydney is an incredible competitor with a proven track record of excellence. Her talent and leadership will be invaluable to our team as we chase more titles.”
Berzon’s arrival adds depth to a pitching staff that continues to set the standard in college softball.
During her time at LSU, Berzon established herself as one of the nation’s top pitchers, earning All-SEC honors and leading the Tigers to deep postseason runs. Reflecting on her transfer, Berzon said,
“I’m thrilled to join the OU family and compete alongside some of the best players in the country. The culture here is unmatched, and I can’t wait to contribute to this program’s legacy.”
Fans and analysts alike are calling this move a game-changer. One ESPN analyst noted,
“Adding a pitcher of Sydney’s caliber instantly raises Oklahoma’s ceiling. They’re already the team to beat, and now they’re even stronger.”
With Berzon in the mix, the Sooners are poised to remain at the top of the college softball world.
