Shannon Murray '21 Recruiting Profile

    I have been playing volleyball since I was 8. The second I stepped on the court, I fell in love with volleyball. I have been a multi-sport athlete my whole life. Along with volleyball, I played basketball, lacrosse, and softball until I was about 14. Since then, I have been playing volleyball all year around along with competitive badminton on the team at my high school. I believe playing multiple sports has helped me become an all-around better athlete because it allows me to practice and develop multiple different skills that can be used in other sports that I play as well.  My goal is to play college volleyball at a school that has a competitive program as well as a positive environment that will bring out the best in me. 

    On the volleyball court, I have great court awareness. I am able to read the game very well. I am a consistent and fluid setter, and I believe that I bring steadiness to the court. I am a great leader because I always lead by example. I bring immense positive energy to the court during every game and practice. I always want the best for my teammates, and I am always excited to see them succeed. On the court, I am always seen cheering on my teammates and having fun playing the game. I always strive to be the hardest worker on the team and in the gym. 

    In the classroom, I always try my best. I maintain a very high GPA while also taking challenging courses that will prepare me for my future. I am also heavily involved in community service work and volunteering.
