Nebraska Volleyball Announces Four Signees

LINCOLN, Neb. - The Nebraska volleyball program and Head Coach John Cook received National Letters of Intent from four highly-touted high school seniors on Wednesday, the first day of the NLI fall signing period.

Three of the signees received high school Under Armour All-America honors last week, and three players rank among the top-25 recruits nationally according to PrepVolleyball.com. Capri Davis, a 6-1 outside hitter from Mansfield, Texas, was an Under Armour All-America first-team honoree, as was Nicklin Hames, a 5-11 setter from Knoxville, Tennessee. Libero Megan Miller, from Alexandria, Indiana, received honorable-mention accolades and is one of the top-ranked libero recruits in the nation. Middle blocker Callie Schwarzenbach – a 6-4 senior at Kearney High School in Kearney, Missouri – is a top-10 recruit nationally.

“This will be a highly-rated class,” Cook said. “All four players have played for high-level club teams. They all fill needs that we will have after our seniors graduate. Each player has the ability to play as a freshman. Most importantly, they all come from great families and will be great fits in our program.”

At first Emma Gabel was a little surprised that a college volleyball program like Nebraska would be recruiting her to come play for them, but it’s not a complete shock to her.

“My coaches at VCN (Volleyball Club of Nebraska based in Lincoln) have always told me if I worked hard, then my dreams will come true, so I definitely think I’ve worked hard enough to earn a spot to play for the Huskers,” Gabel said by phone late Tuesday.

The lifelong Lincoln resident and Pius X junior made her college choice on Tuesday to play volleyball for Nebraska.

“I decided tonight that I want to play at Nebraska, and I think it will be a great experience for me,” Gabel said.

The 5-foot-7 defensive specialist will begin her college career as a walk-on, just like most defensive specialists, but could earn a scholarship later in her college career.

She’ll have the chance to follow another Pius X graduate, Sydney Townsend, who played a big role for the Huskers as a senior.

Crazy. I've known her mom for years. Great lady. Tough. Knew Bekka played ball but never paid much attention to it. Now she's going to be a Husker. 

Bekka has some great siblings. Real tribute to her upbringing.
