New Eagle shines in Chad Willis era

Roster change is a part of any coaching staff overhaul, and Georgia Southern volleyball has been no exception. Part of the transition this past offseason under new Head Coach Chad Willis is sophomore Baylor Bumford.

Bumford transferred in from UNC-Wilmington and quickly broke a 24-year standing single-game blocks record against Troy in the second weekend of conference play.

Bumford, a Winter Garden, Florida native, first met Willis on the high school recruiting trail and once he got the head coaching job at GS, Bumford felt it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

“I knew Taylor and Chad prior to coming here,” she said.
