William Carey inks Jake Lycette for 2021 season

Another Mississippi Delta Community College baseball player has inked with William Carey University in Hattiesburg, this time in the form of Jake Lycette (Brandon).

Lycette, a left-handed hitting outfielder, had three doubles and three stolen bases prior to the season being cut short in mid-March. He also had seven runs scored, six walks and a .263 batting average.

He prepped at perennial power Northwest Rankin High School, where he was named to the All-Region and All-District teams in baseball. He also competed in bowling and football, where he was a team captain in bowling and an All-District selection in football.

Lycette, a standout student who was a member of Phi Theta Kappa, will have four seasons of eligibility left at William Carey after being granted the 2020 season back due to COVID-19.
