Zaria Keys '24 Recruiting Profile

I am Zaria Keys, and I fell in love with the game of Volleyball in 4th grade after years of competitive dance and tennis and fell in love instantly. My athletic career progressed and improvement was instant as I understood the game more and grew as my athletic ability grew. My plan is to maintain my academic achievements for the rest of high school and college.  I have played Varsity Full time since my sophomore year. Currently my strongest position is a Setter, although I know all the positions on the court and move around frequently. Athletically, I would love to play collegiately, building lifelong relationships all while earning a degree. I am really interested in Exercise Science/Kinesiology, Business Administration, Finance, with a minor in Healthcare and would like to get my Bachelors and possibly Master's Degree, although undecided at this point. Thanks to my coaches and teammates, I have realized that within a sport it is not always about skill, but attitude and dedication. You have to work hard and encourage yourself along with others to succeed as a team. I love the sport so much and put my all into every practice and game. I have had so much fun playing volleyball, as well as developing amazing relationships with my team, and hope to continue this into a collegiate sport.
