Dylan Russell '21 Recruiting Profile

From the time I was a young girl, my mom shared her love of volleyball with me and I knew it would be my love as well. Through volleyball I have not only grown in skill level, but have developed confidence and leadership skills that have continued to shape my character. I enjoy beach volleyball as well as the hard court, but beach volleyball has become my passion!

I am a very coachable player, value input and take direction well.  While I may not be the loudest player on the court, I let my actions and talent speak loudly. I continue to set goals for myself both on the court and in my academics so I always have something to strive for. In the classroom my hard work is evident in my 4.2 GPA. In my free time I enjoy volunteering at our local animal shelter and supporting Paws for Life, church youth group, French club, and art.

I am open to all options, and am ultimately looking for a school that offers the highest level of competition while allowing me to pursue academic studies in preparation for future application to veterinary school. 

I love to compete and I love to be challenged. We are a military family, and I understand hard work, sacrifice and the importance of unity. Team first, always!
