PUMP UP THE JAM

Jamison Brockenbrough looks to cap her collegiate career on a high note, serving as the lone true senior on the Clemson roster in 2026
A transfer prior to the 2025 season, Brockenbrough made a flawless transition into the Tigers' lineup in centerfield and brought speed to the bottom of the lineup
Transitioning to the leadoff spot in 2026, Brockenbrough has drawn 27 walks, including three in the opening weekend finale against Michigan State which ties for the second most in a single game in Clemson records
She cracked the season top-10 list for walks, while Julia Knowler sits just outside (24)
She holds a .444 on-base percentage and adds a .516 slugging percentage
After getting on base, Brockenbrough has stolen six bases this year to contribute to her 14 as a Tiger, which cracks Clemson's top 10 where current junior Kylee Johnson resides
Not only does the senior bring speed to the lineup, she opened the 2026 slate with a two-run homer against SE Louisiana
She continued her power stretch with home runs against Furman, Georgia Southern and at Notre Dame
Brockenbrough is one of five players to have five or more multi-RBI games and one of three players with nine or more multi-hit games
