PROVO, Utah — BYU softball head coach Gordon Eakin has announced the transfer signing of Jaylee Ojo.
Ojo joins the Cougars with two years of eligibility after spending the last three years at Iowa, where she picked up four wins and one save, including one complete game, also tallying 72 strikeouts.
The five-foot-11 right-handed pitcher made 24 apperances across the last three seasons for the Hawkeyes, totaling 60.1 innings of work. At the plate, she also hit a grand slam against Iowa State in 2025.
A two-time letterwinner and 2025 Spring Academic All-Big Ten team honoree, Ojo set career highs of seven innings pitched against Sacramento State and 10 strikeouts at Illinois as a freshman in 2024.
Originally from Sacramento, Calif., Ojo prepped at Sheldon High School, where she was the 2021 MaxPreps Selection Player of the Year (Class of 2023) and a two-time all-district team selection with a career 1.87 ERA and .444 batting average.
Ojo will join BYU's 10 incoming freshman along with fellow transfers Rilyne Keck and Braylee Shields as the 13th member of the Cougars' 2026 signing class this fall.
