OXFORD, Miss.— With the spring signing period underway, head coach Kayla Banwarth has announced the addition of three new Rebels to the 2021 roster. Ole Miss continues to build heading into the second season of the Banwarth era, adding two freshmen and a transfer to the squad.
“I am thrilled to be adding these outstanding young women to our roster. All three are of very high character and are extremely hard workers, two reasons that I believe they will impact the culture of Ole Miss volleyball the minute they set foot on campus,” said Banwarth.
“They are very talented volleyball players from three of the most prominent clubs in the country and they will without a doubt raise the level of play in our gym.”
