Ole Miss softball head coach Jamie Trachsel welcomed former Rebel Delaney Rummell back to Oxford as the Director of Operations in August 2025.
Rummell returns to Oxford after competing for the Rebels during the 2024 season, following her transfer from Illinois. Rummell hit .251 with three home runs and 24 RBI over 58 starts in her lone season in Oxford. Over her five collegiate seasons, Rummell hit a combined .268 with 27 home runs, 38 doubles and 135 RBI over 236 games and starts.
A key starter on the 2024 roster, her efforts helped lead the Rebels back to the NCAA Tournament.
The former All-Big Ten and All-Big Ten Defensive Team honoree most recently worked with the NCAA in leadership development, where she helped manage travel logistics and communication for consultants, speakers and program participants, while planning and implementing programs to educate and empower student-athletes, coaches and administrators in leadership development.
Rummell also spent time with Illinois prior to attending Ole Miss, working as both a student-athlete development intern and in development operations, where she coordinated scheduling, ticket allocation and event logistics for Fighting Illini events.
Rummell graduated from Ole Miss with a Master of Science in sport analytics in 2024, recording a 4.0 GPA. Rummell graduated from Illinois in 2023 with a bachelor's degree in recreation, sport and tourism.
