Jordan Heritsch '24 Recruiting Profile

I began my volleyball journey not out of family tradition, but from a desire to belong to a team and push myself beyond my comfort zone. My experience in volleyball has taught me not only about the sport but also about resilience, dedication, and the importance of teamwork. I take every loss to heart but celebrate wins with even greater passion, always striving to give 110% for my coaches and teammates.

Starting as a middle hitter/outside hitter, I evolved into a versatile player, excelling as a middle blocker/right-side hitter and setter. I've been recognized for my “gifted” abilities with my hands, but I pride myself on being a utility player who can adapt to any position. My defensive skills are strong, and I've honed my craft as a back-row defender.

After playing with RV on 16 Purple, I continued my development with Top Flight Volleyball Club, focusing on positional training and conditioning. I also completed my second sand season at TFVBC. A highlight of my career was playing overseas with America's Team in the Dominican Republic during the summer of 2023, an experience that reinforced my commitment to using sport to make a positive impact.

I am completed my high school education online through Acellus Academy, allowing me to prioritize my athletic goals. ****Although I recently suffered a grade 3 ankle injury, I remain focused and motivated, taking a gap year while retaining all four years of eligibility.***

I am eager to continue my journey in both beach and indoor volleyball and am open to opportunities in any location. For a glimpse of my growth, feel free to check out my active volleyball Instagram.

I’m ready to bring my unique strengths and unwavering dedication to the next team I join!
