Volleyball Adds Three Signees to 2025 class

As we begin the journey of reimagining what UCF volleyball can be, our focus is on finding and attracting those that we feel can contribute to our long-term vision. These three young women represent exactly what we are looking for and I am so excited to have them as a part of our program moving forward. This is a talented group and one that will be an integral in elevating UCF volleyball on the national stage. Each of these young women understand what we are trying to accomplish here and possess the ability to contribute directly to those ambitions. Our staff is excited to work with them, compete with them, and help them reach their goals as they transition to the next level.

Nygeria is an explosive pin hitter that I believe will develop into a high-level point scorer at the next level. The growth we have seen from her in just the past year highlights what I think will be a common theme throughout her collegiate career. Her contact point, velocity, and versatility make her a threat across the entirety of the net and a tough match-up to prepare for. On top of what she can do up front, Nygeria’s progress in the backrow is equally exciting as it will ultimately allow us to utilize her through all six rotations. She is going to be a lot of fun to work with and our fans are absolutely going to love watching her style of play.

Mikayla has special talent in the setting position and she plays the game with a joy and passion that is infectious. She is a competitor that understands how to make an impact out on the floor and how to position her teammates for success. Creativity is an important part of what we look for in setters and Mikayla is a prime example of what that looks like. Beyond the technical skills, of which she has already built an excellent foundation, her ability to create is what really sets her apart. She has the strength to push the ball to every location on the court from just about every position she finds herself in which is another huge benefit.

I have had the pleasure of working with Alexa since she was in eight grade and attending our summer camps in Southwest Florida. What she was doing at that age was remarkable and it was clear early on that she was going to be elite. Here we are five years later and she is now one of the best and most accomplished high school liberos in the nation. Her ability to influence what happens out on the court from her position is incredible to watch and just highlights how special she is. Lexi is talented, works hard, competes hard, and is an unbelievable teammate. Those are the characteristics we celebrate here and she is going to fit in perfectly.
