The Texas Longhorns have long been considered one of the premier destinations for top-level talent in modern college volleyball, but the elite recruits from the Lone Star State aren’t always the centerpieces.
Think Logan Eggleston or Haley Eckerman or even Dawn Davenport for an old-school callback.
That’s not the case for the 2024 recruiting cycle, with Texas adding elite talent from its home state with Prosper’s Ayden Ames and Westlake’s Reese Emerick joining the fold for head coach Jerritt Elliott’s quest to become just the second team to three-peat.
It’s convenient to find one of the nation’s best liberos right in your backyard, which was the case for Texas reeling in Emerick as one of the early members of the class.
