Xander Ikusz '24 Recruiting Profile

2023-24:

•Setter for SkyHigh 18-1 team (Libertyville, IL)

•Senior at Carmel Catholic High School starting on Varsity roster

I began playing volleyball in 5th grade through school and  started playing for SkyHigh Volleyball Club in 2020 on the 16's team despite being 13 years old. I enjoy the challenge of playing with and against players older than me. My coaches and teammates would describe me as hardworking, committed, consistent, adaptable, and supportive. Volleyball is a big part of my life. In addition to my own development as a player, I have assisted in coaching and running clinics for younger players. I value the lessons that athletics have taught me: teamwork, commitment, sacrifice, and leadership.  I am interested in engineering and am in Honors track for Math/Science and in the Dual Credit Engineering track. I'm looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically as well as academically. I am a dedicated and hardworking student-athlete committed to playing at the highest level. I believe I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but the character, work-ethic, and leadership skills to make an immediate impact on your program.
