Oshane Farquharson '21 Recruiting Profile

    In the beginning, volleyball was just a recreational sport for me or something I would do to keep active during off season for track and field. Shortly after completing my first season, I just could not wait to get back on the court. This is when I realized I had a passion for volleyball. After a long wait the next season came along where my team placed second. During the finals it became clear to me that the harder the game, the more I would feel alive and eager to get that next point.

    Naturally I started looking for a higher level of competition and became a starter on the Jamaica Under 19 National Volleyball Team. This level of competition opened my eyes to a whole new volleyball which taught me true values such as teamwork, endurance, determination, and never giving up while enjoying the sport. After placing third, I immediately thought of ways to improve my abilities as a student-athlete and the next step would be college volleyball.

    I am looking for a college program  that will push my athleticism while pursuing my specific major. I would love to improve both academically and physically while working in a comfortable environment. I believe I have the the right work-ethic, attitude and commitment to influence your team.
