Three former Franklin High School softball players signed Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements with Stewart Communications, a Franklin-based marketing firm. Thanks to the recent introduction of NIL rules, student athletes can earn extra money on top of the scholarships they receive at their universities.

McKenzie Redoutey and sisters Taylor and Tori Ensley were softball star fielders and prolific hitters for the Panthers before graduating and accepting scholarships to play at Louisiana State University (Redoutey) and North Carolina State University (Ensley sisters).
