Natalie Newell
"Central player" with great vision and technical ability
Natalie Newell, from Murphy, Texas, brings several needed skillsets to the team, especially mentality and fight.
"We are excited to welcome Natalie to the Razorback family," Arkansas soccer head coach Colby Hale said. "We appreciate all the hard work D'Feeters has invested in her and we look forward to continuing the strong Texas-to-Arkansas pipeline."
With the Razorback tradition running deep within her family, Newell said she selected Arkansas because Fayetteville felt like home to her.
