The No. 1 catcher in the 2027 class, Juliana “Goose” Hutchens, just wrapped up her official visit with Oklahoma Softball — and she sat down with me to talk all about it.

 From meeting Patty Gasso, JT Gasso, and the OU coaching staff, to the “Sooner Olympics,” time with current players, and the electric atmosphere at the OU vs. Michigan football game, Goose shares what made her trip to Norman unforgettable. 

We also dive into her journey from baseball to softball, her record-breaking high school season at Wagoner, overcoming an ACL injury, and her love for OU legends like Kinzie Hansen. Plus, Goose opens up about her recruiting process, future visits (Texas Tech, Texas, Arkansas, UCLA), and what she’s looking for in the school she’ll eventually call home. If you’re a fan of OU Softball recruiting, future Sooners, and want the inside scoop on one of the biggest names in the 2027 class, you don’t want to miss this interview.
