Like father, like daughter—both are chasing greatness in their own worlds. Kalen DeBoer had a decent 9-win season in his first year at Bama and is now assembling a top-tier staff; you can bet they’re aiming for the natty. Meanwhile, his daughter is crushing it too—literally. The Washington Huskies softball star made waves when she smashed a 3-run homer against Alabama at the Candrea Classic. The Huskies may have lost 5-1, but she stole the spotlight. And that blast helped rocket her to the No. 11 spot in the 2024 class. Now, she’s not just following in her dad’s footsteps. She’s blazing her own trail.
Alexis DeBoer is stepping into the spotlight—and she’s owning it. Despite her dad’s move to Bama, she stayed put at Washington, feeling right at home. And it’s paying off—she’s not just playing softball there; she’s building a brand and stacking up national recognition along the way. Just like her dad, calm, cool, and focused—that’s Alexis. “She’s got a pretty level head,” said Huskies HC Heather Tarr. “With everything that comes with being the daughter of a top football coach, she handles it like a pro.” Honestly, the name DeBoer isn’t just about football anymore. Alexis is making sure of that.
Now, cue the proud dad moment—Alexis DeBoer is making waves again. For the 2nd time this season, she’s earned B1G weekly honors, this time as Freshman of the Week, UW Athletics announced today. However, last week at PSU, she was on fire—batting .500 with 2 homers, 5 hits, and 4 runs. Oh, and she posted a jaw-dropping 1.300 slugging percentage. But in the series finale? Pure dominance. Alexis went 3-for-3, including 2 bombs and a single. And that marked her 4th multi-homer game and 12th multi-RBI performance this season.
On top of that, she’s now the 7th Husky ever to hit 20+ home runs—and the 1st since Baylee Klingler crushed 24 in 2022. Even better? She’s only the 2nd freshman to ever do it. Kalen DeBoer’s daughter isn’t just rising—she’s rewriting the record books. And it doesn’t stop there. Back in March, Alexis DeBoer made Husky history—becoming the first Washington player to earn B1G Softball’s Player of the Week honors. The freshman infielder didn’t just show up—she showed out.
Moreover, during the OUTRIGGER Invitational, she went off. Washington extended its win streak to 9, crushing Hawaii 8-3, and Alexis was the spark. She hit .579 across the tournament, racking up 11 hits, and 3 homers—including her first career grand slam—and drove in 11 runs. Her performance turned heads, including her coach’s. “She’s fun to coach. Very coachable. You can tell she’s from a coaching family,” Heather Tarr said. “She watches, she learns, and once you tell her something—she locks in. It’s going to be fun coaching her.” Alexis DeBoer isn’t just having a breakout year. She’s setting the tone for the future.
Next stop: West Lafayette, Indiana—where Alexis DeBoer will look to make more history as the Huskies gear up for the B1G Tournament. But the truth is, she’s already hitting milestones left and right. From home runs to headline NIL deals, she’s proving she’s the total package.
