Miss America 2025 Abbie Stockard is likely very familiar to some college football fans as she used to cheer for an NCAA program.
Stockard beat 50 competitors as she was named Miss America in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday night. The event featured a contestant from each U.S. state and one from Puerto Rico and was pretty stiff as competition went.
Abbie would be the one crowned.
“I want to express my deepest thanks to my friends, family, the amazing Miss Alabama board, and the wonderful people of Alabama for making me feel so appreciated and loved,” she wrote.
The 22-year-old nursing student attends Auburn and was a cheerleader for the Tigers. She won the Miss Alabama pageant before starting her senior year in college last June and has since gone one better.
As suggested above, Abbie is studying to become a nurse. However, she has taken a liking to modeling as well, which has apparently proven quite worthwhile. She has also turned heads as a dancer for the Tigers.
Abbie Stockard Is The Fourth Miss Alabama To Win Miss America
The winner of the Miss America competition gets to tour the world as a winner over the next year while also receiving $50,000 in prize money.
Abbie is the fourth Miss Alabama to win the national title, following Deidre Downs, Miss America 2005; Heather Whitestone, Miss America 1995; and Yolande Betbeze, Miss America 1951.
A Miss Alabama hadn’t won the honor in 20 years. But Abbie has declared that she’s ready for the job as she begins her reign.
“Aaron Judge’s Big Body Is Going To Be 33” – MLB Broadcaster Says Juan Soto Will Outshine Judge In 2025

The steaks are high, and so are the bets on Aaron Judge vs. Juan Soto. While you are still catching your breath from one after the other blockbuster trades, the offseason has got you more. Judge has been on the fan’s favorite list for so long, but the wind seems to be moving to the side with Soto.
During a recent segment on SportsNet New York, an MLB broadcaster had his unique perspective for picking the New York Mets’ latest bet against the New York Yankees’ star. While the panel was discussing- Which player would you want on your team for 2025: Juan Soto or Aaron Judge? Sal Licata put on an interesting comparison between the two.
“Aaron Judge is the best player that I’ve ever seen. I said that early last season and I stand by that, but I’d rather have Stto for two reasons. Number one, his age. At some point, players in their 30s start to decline. You know about Judge and his big body; he’s going to be 33 this year.”
“Moving him out of center field is going to help, but he’s had a history with injuries. Number two, and this is the most important thing: Juan Stto has the biggest guts of any player that I’ve ever seen. He’s unafraid or unintimidated by anything; he has proven in both New York and the postseason,” Licata said.
This was not the only time the Soto-Judge discussion caught the wind. Soto’s move to the Mets has left many Yankees fans reeling, and that was the case for the majority of them. After the duo’s explosive season together, seeing him don the Mets’ colors raised more than a few eyebrows.
