Grace Culler '25 Recruiting Profile

I am fortunate to have been exposed to volleyball in elementary school, but I didn't take it to the next level until I started playing club ball in 2019. The club game led me to enjoy the sport even more!  Now, I like the challenge of moving from my high school team in the fall to club ball in the winter and spring,  learning how to best use my skills as a setter for the individual players on these different teams.  Throughout my years of playing, I've learned that I tend to lead by example.  I'm vocal when I need to be (especially when a captain), but I let my actions in practice and games motivate others.  I was surprised and humbled when my varsity high school team voted me team MVP as a freshman this year.  I simply try to be seen as a coachable player who is a supportive teammate and hard worker.

For college, I am looking first for a good academic fit.  My parents have always stressed my school studies, but I sincerely want to combine my love for volleyball with an excellent education.  I strive to keep myself well-rounded by playing other sports in high school,  and I try to remain grounded through a life that isn't only about sports.
