Say Hello To Texas State Soccer Player Bailey Peschel

Texas State athlete Bailey Peschel's Instagram is loaded with potential.

There are a few truths in life. We (most of us?) pay taxes, we'll all eventually die and the OutKick boost definitely helps rising Instagram stars.

Nebraska pole vaulter Jess Gardner's profile exploded after we shined a spotlight on her. There's nothing that gets the job done for growing a social media following like a nice OutKick bump.

Bailey Peschel has caught our attention.

Well, I was scrolling the internet Monday night as one does after a long day in the content mines and stumbled across Bailey Peschel.

Due to my Big J journalism skills, it quickly became clear that more research was necessary. It turns out the Texas State soccer player might be destined to be a star online.

Not only does Peschel have a loaded Instagram, but she's also incredibly intelligent. Her Texas State roster page lists three separate semesters of having a 4.0 GPA, and she's also a 2023 team captain.

It looks like she's winning on the soccer field, on Instagram and in the class room. I believe that's what people call a very solid trifecta.

Now, the obvious comparison everyone wants to make when it comes to athletes is to Olivia Dunne. Peschel has a VERY long way to go before coming close to Dunne.

Livvy has more than 12 million followers on TikTok and Instagram. Peschel 7,148 Instagram followers as of publication, but with the OutKick bump, you can guarantee that number shoots up.

Where will Bailey Peschel go from here? Time will tell, but there's no doubt she has all the potential in the world to be a monster star online.
