Collin Kepple '20 Recruiting Profile

    Volleyball is at the center of my life, heart, and mind.  For years now, it has been my dream to play at the collegiate level.  Ever since I developed that dream I've constantly striven to achieve it, whether its going the extra mile in practice or thinking healthier about what I eat.  Many, including myself, say that I’m a strong-minded and determined individual.  The truth is, I love volleyball more than anyone else.  I always tell my friends that I would play volleyball anytime and anywhere, even in the most unusual places.  I once even played volleyball on a back-packing trip at 10,000 feet above sea level in the Rockies.  This year, I transferred to Alter High School and am excited to finally have a high school team to play for.  Also, I practice with the Women’s Team, and during the summer, I play USAV Beach Volleyball and in 2018 competed in USAV Sand Nationals where my partner and I got 5th place.  Year-round, I play in an adult league at my local YMCA.

    Currently, I am 6 feet tall with a size 14 shoe and large hands, and all I ever hear is how tall I'm expected to be.  My primary position is Outside Hitter but I am also a six rotation player with strong passing skills.  For my first club season at age 12 with Air City VBC, I played Libero on the 14s National Team.  I am an offensive, reliable server and I do well under pressure.  If needed, I can play Libero or Opposite Hitter.

    Outside of volleyball, I participate in numerous activities.  I am currently a Boy Scout completing my Eagle Scout requirements.  As for academics, I maintain a strong GPA and take Honors and AP classes.  By the end of my freshman year, I had already completed all of my required math courses.  I am also a member of National Honor Society.  I’ve participated in my school’s writing club where I have practiced for and competed at competitions and have even received awards for my writings.
