What made you choose Ole Miss?
Being from Mississippi, I have always wanted to stay in-state and represent Mississippi, but the atmosphere of the campus and the team chemistry influenced me so much.
What do you like most about Ole Miss and Oxford?
I love the southern hospitality because it makes me feel like I'm right back home.
What are you most looking forward to during your first season at Ole Miss?ย ย ย ย ย
I'm just really excited to play and practice with all the girls, especially the seniors since we will only have one season together!
Do you have any pregame rituals or superstitions?
I always listen to some really hype music
Is there anyone you try to model your game after? If so, why?
I really enjoy watching so many hard-working athletes, but my brother Josh Carpenter is an athlete that I admire because of his selflessness. He really does his best to include everyone and that is something that is very important to me.ย
