Tennessee head coach Karen Weekly expressed her excitement over the commitment, stating, “Cat Osterman is one of the greatest to ever step into the circle. Her experience, leadership, and knowledge of the game will elevate our program to new heights. This is a monumental day for Tennessee softball.”
