Mizzou softball has added another piece to its 2027 roster, bringing in Georgia transfer infielder Tyah Charlton, head coach Larissa Anderson announced Friday, June 26.
Anderson didn’t hide the excitement about what Charlton can bring to Columbia. “We're excited to welcome Tyah to Mizzou.
She was a highly recruited players in her class, and her time at Georgia has given her firsthand experience competing in the toughest conference in college softball,” Anderson said. “She understands what it takes to succeed in the SEC, and now it's about getting consistent everyday reps to continue her development.
Tyah has tremendous upside, and we believe her best softball is still ahead of her. The future is incredibly bright for her in a Mizzou uniform.”
Charlton arrives after spending her first two years in Athens, Ga., where she gave Georgia some early-season production and added depth in the infield. In 11 games, she hit .333 with four runs scored and four RBIs. One of her better stretches came at the Clearwater Classic in 2026, when she went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs across four games.
For her career, Charlton appeared in 38 games and finished with 36 at-bats, a .222 average, nine runs scored, eight hits, one home run and six RBIs. She also posted a .417 on-base percentage and drew 12 walks. During her freshman season with the Bulldogs, she had one multi-hit game, collecting two hits and scoring once against James Madison.
Before her time at Georgia, the Lynchburg, Va., native built an impressive prep résumé at Amherst County High School. She was a two-time All-State selection and earned Seminole District Player of the Year honors in both 2022 and 2023.
Charlton is the third player to join Mizzou’s 2027 roster, alongside incoming senior Nealy Lamb from South Carolina and incoming junior Jana Want from Middle Tennessee State.
