Brandon Whitney '19 Recruiting Profile

    I am a very dedicated student athlete who is really passionate about volleyball. I take every chance available to play volleyball such as high school, club, private clinics and drop-in sessions at the local Volleyball House.  With a high level of motivation to play at a competitive level in college I recently began extra physical training and have kept working towards the best grades possible to get a GPA that sets me above the other candidates. 

    On the court I have proven to be a leader and all of the older players on my teams see me as the happy yet serious kind of guy. I tend to connect with my teams really well.  I'm not afraid to approach people older than me on and off the court,  which I believe to be a good reason for my strong chemistry with new players and teams. As a setter I make sure to talk to everyone on the court and make sure everyone keeps their head up including myself. I make sure to take responsibility for every play and review what I can do to make it better next time but also try not to overthink anything while on the court. I set myself apart from the average candidate because of how devoted I am to the sport and how I take every chance I have to improve in school and on the court so I can lead my team and be a model student in the classroom.
