Colten Carpenter '16 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was little I've always wanted to play volleyball in college or better yet at a 10 year old point of view the Olympics.  I'd always go into the gym and watch the High School girls practice.  See, I never had the opportunity to play volleyball in High School, since we didn't offer it to guys. So I became the junior high and high school manager, that way I could help and get better by practicing with them. What sets me apart from the other recruits is that I was never given the opportunity to play on a High School team or on a club team. My talent came from determination and hard work and effort that the coaches put into me so that I could be better. They helped me become the hard outside and middle hitter that I am and also the great defensive player as well.
