Riley ONeal '21 Recruiting Profile

I imagine my college years to be an opportunity to grow exponentially. My athletic career started very young with baseball and then also playing basketball in elementary school but continuing baseball until the end of middle school. I had developed a strong interest in volleyball freshman year where my high school team was proven to be a strong competitor getting 2nd in two tournaments, also joining a sand volleyball team in the summer and a club team in the fall. I grew the most as an athlete during that year learning how to be a dynamic leader and a strong team player.

On the court, I plan to show excellent discipline and dedication to the team. I am looking for a program that is a good fit for me athletically as well as academically. My goal is to continue a powerful academic record and grow both mentally and physically through my college athletic career. I believe that not only my talent but my work-ethic, leadership, and character will allow me to have the greatest impact on your program. Most importantly, I will strive to be an asset on and off the court, knowing that my actions and attitude mirror my team, my coaches, and the school.
