Wooley Named Rawlings Gold Glove Recipient
May 28, 2025 | Softball
LOUISVILLE – Texas A&M softball's Koko Wooley was named a Rawlings Gold Glove Award Winner, the organization announced in partnership with NFCA on Wednesday. Wooley is the first Aggie to earn the honor in Texas A&M history.
Wooley is one of the most dynamic athletes in the nation, and her defensive ability put her athleticism on full display. A human highlight reel at shortstop, Wooley combines elite range, lightning-quick reflexes and a fearless approach to consistently deliver jaw-dropping defensive plays for the Aggies. Whether she's charging a slow roller, laying out in the hole or turning a double play with pinpoint precision, Wooley makes the extraordinary look routine.
Her glove work is matched by her arm strength and accuracy, making her a reliable anchor on one of the nation's most formidable defenses. Time and again, Wooley bailed out her team with game-changing plays that showcase not just skill, but poise and instinct rarely seen at the collegiate level.
The La Porte, Texas, native, made 212 career starts in the Maroon & White, while improving her fielding percentage each season at shortstop.
