11/20/2025 4:32:00 PM | Softball
DURHAM, N.C. – Along with the 12 returning letterwinners from last season, the Duke softball program also welcomed 10 newcomers in six freshman and four transfers. During the fall, GoDuke.com will be spotlighting each of the 10 newcomers ahead of the 2026 campaign.
The next Blue Devil spotlight is freshman infielder Brookelyn Grayson. Grayson comes to Durham from Noblesville, Indiana, where she was a three-year letterwinner in basketball and softball at Noblesville High School. Grayson also played nine years of travel ball with the Indiana Shockwaves. Off the field, she has earned numerous accolades in the classroom, including the Merit Award and being inducted into the National Honor Society.
GoDuke.com: What are you most excited for this season?
Brookelyn Grayson: For this season, I'm excited to travel a lot for conference and non-conference games.
GD: What is your favorite part about softball?
BG: My favorite part of softball is competing. I love to compete, whether its in the infield with a ground ball trying to get the batter out or as a batter going against the pitcher. I love trying to do my best and always come out on top.
GD: What do you like most about Duke so far?
BG: It's been an incredible experience so far playing with the people I've seen on TV and go to the Women's College World Series. I've been taking in everything I can and trying to learn from the best.
GD: What makes Duke different from where you grew up?
BG: I think the people are different. Everyone has been so welcoming and I've loved getting to know different people. You can walk up to anyone and start a conversation.
GD: What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of softball?
BG: Outside of softball, I like to play basketball and pickleball. I'm a first-degree black belt in Taekwondo.
