Gilreath named Whataburger Rising Star

Jordan Gilreath, 15, was selected as a Whataburger Rising Star and was presented at a Texas Rangers baseball game on August 30, 2024.

She is a two-time alumnus of the MLB’s Elite Development Invitational. The MLB chooses girls from a skills video selection process, then flies them to the Jackie Robinson Complex in Vero Beach, Florida.

Jordan led her baseball and softball team to the junior division championships at the Texas Rangers Youth Academy. Her softball team won the championship, and her baseball finished as runner-up.

“She is a tushka tek and we are so proud of her,” said her mother, Tamara Gilreath.
