Prattville softball star Addison Lee commits to Faulkner
Addison Lee’s Faulkner commitment capped a breakout year for Prattville, where the Lions won 25 games after an 11-23 season. Her path blends softball, academics and a future in teaching.
Addison Lee committed to Faulkner after a junior season that helped turn Prattville softball from an 11-win team into a 25-win one. For a program in Autauga County, her decision is a sign that the Lions’ recent rise is producing college pathways, not just better scores.
Lee was one of the biggest reasons for that jump. She hit .321 last season with 34 hits, seven home runs, 29 runs batted in and 19 walks, production that made her one of Prattville’s most dependable offensive players heading into her senior year. The numbers also show how far the Lions moved in one season, going from 11-23 in 2025 to a much stronger 2026 campaign.
Faulkner gives Lee a close-to-home landing spot in Montgomery, which keeps her in Alabama while joining a program coming off one of its strongest recent runs. The Eagles finished 35-14 overall and 17-7 in Southern States Athletic Conference play in 2026, placed second in the league race and earned only their second NAIA Opening Round berth since the format began in 2013. Head coach Hal Wynn will enter the 35th season of Faulkner softball in 2026, and the Eagles’ schedule included nine opponents ranked or receiving votes in the national poll.
Lee’s choice also fit her long-term plans away from the diamond. She carried a 3.97 grade-point average, was an honors student, participated in the Future Teacher of Alabama Club and was named Student of the Year for ACTC Early Childhood Education. Lee said teaching was a calling for her, and she plans to major in elementary education.
That combination of classroom success, career direction and softball production gives Prattville a recruiting storyline that reaches beyond one player. Younger athletes in the program can point to Lee’s route from a local high school roster to a nearby four-year college program, and parents can see a path that rewards both academics and athletics. For Prattville, the commitment is another marker that the Lions’ improvement is starting to show up where it matters most: in the future opportunities their players are earning.
