Owen LaPersonerie '26 Recruiting Profile

While playing club volleyball for the past five years, I have grown to be a passionate and determined player who strives to be the best I can be. Every time I step on the court, I enjoy being there more than anywhere else, and I put in the most amount of effort I can.

Not only do I have strong physical skills in the sport, but I have been complimented on my mental toughness and determined personality. I try to increase my knowledge of volleyball in any way that I can. I am constantly watching games and learning from coaches and other great players by asking questions and seeking advice. One of my major strengths is being a phenomenal team player. I like to encourage my teammates and am able to work well with any other player while leading my team on and off the court. Playing volleyball has taught me a lot about commitment, persistence and teamwork. 

I have been a member of the top Sportime Volleyball Club team for my age group for the past five years. I have also been on the varsity team at my high school, St. Anthony’s,  since freshman year. In addition to my school and travel team, I was selected for the GEVA Regional 17U Team in July 2024 and the Long Island All Star Team.  

As an honors and AP student, and a member of the National Honor Society, academics are extremely important to me. My goal is to play collegiate volleyball while achieving my academic goals at the same time. I know that with my skills and ambition, I would be an asset and great recruit for any college volleyball program.
