Sydney Booker, a top-25 finalist for NFCA Freshman of the Year at Southeastern Louisiana last season, has joined Alabama's softball team.

The daughter of former Tide wide receiver David Booker, Booker set Southeastern Louisiana records in both RBI (49) and triples (8) last year while batting .362 with nine doubles and eight home runs.

A shortstop, Booker was named second-team All-Louisiana and third-team All-Southland Conference.

The Madison native played at Bob Jones High School, batting .489 with 23 doubles and 51 runs scored as a senior.

"We are really excited about the addition of Sydney to the Alabama softball family," Tide coach Patrick Murphy said in a statement. "She comes from a very athletic family, including her father, who played football at Alabama for coach Bryant. She will make our team better the next three years."
