Move over, Olivia Dunne: There’s a new star taking the SEC by storm.
Brylie St. Clair, a fifth-year outfielder for the Mississippi State softball team is returning to campus for the last time amid a wave of new fans.
St. Clair, who has been dubbed the “Olivia Dunne of the Diamond,” announced her return to Starkville this week by posting some pictures in uniform as well as showing off her karaoke skills on social media.
St. Clair’s social media prowess took off this summer as she rode horses, shot guns and hung out by the lake.
The fifth-year senior, who boasts 230,000 followers on TikTok, posted two videos last week commemorating one of her last times arriving at the Bulldogs’ campus.
“Last first day of school ever,” she wrote as she lip-synced to a SZA song, adding a teary emoji.
St. Clair also added a video in which she took a quick break from a bullpen session to do karaoke with a friend.
“It was fun to really take my platform and channel it more for young softball girls,” St. Clair told The Dispatch last year. “They get to see, ‘This is fun. This is enjoyable. I want to be there. I want to be able to do that.’ It’s fun to be able to use my platform for that.”
St. Clair was one of just two Bulldogs to play in all 53 games last year, hitting .239 and finishing fourth on the squad in hits with 23.
The rising star told The Dispatch she likes giving her followers a slice of the life of a Division I athlete on TikTok.
“I just feel like the different content reaches different people, so it’s fun to get all these different people who are interested in different things to be involved with my content,” St. Clair said.
The team went 28-25 and lost to Missouri in the first round of the SEC Tournament in May.
