Ilija Colakovic '23 Recruiting Profile

Volleyball has been my passion since I was a child, but it truly developed when I joined my middle school volleyball team. In high school, I joined the Chicago Elite volleyball club, as well as my high school team, in order to evolve my skills. I played both middle back and libero, so I am a versatile defensive specialist. I consistently hustle on the court, making it my goal to not have a ball drop. I am an energetic player and love to raise the morale of my teammates on and off the court.

When it comes to academics, I am constantly looking for ways to improve. Just like I dedicated myself to volleyball and to improving my game, I know that through that same dedication I can grow academically. 

Ultimately, my goal is to find the college that will best fit me. I wish to find a school that can highlight my tireless and hardworking attitude on and off the court.
