Class of 2018 recruit Jordan Russell has committed to the University of Houston women’s indoor volleyball team. A native of Friendswood, Texas, Russell is a 6’2″ middle blocker and outside hitter.
A senior at Clear Brook High School, Russell notched over 1,000 kills in her career and saw her best season of varsity as a junior during her four years at the top level. In that season, she recorded 554 kills (4.7 per set), 280 digs (2.4 per set) and 72 blocks (0.6 per set) according to her MaxPreps profile.
In club volleyball, Russell plays with Gulf Coast Volleyball Association (GCVA). She was initially committed to Rice University, but an injury derailed her final season of prep volleyball as now she will head to a different school in the lone star state.
Houston is coming off of a 12-16 season in which they went 8-12 in American Athletic Conference (AAC) action. Of their four middle blockers and seven outside hitters, three graduate prior to 2018 at the positions of play of Russell.
I was super blessed to receive an offer to play volleyball at the next level. When things didn’t turn out the way I planned, God had another plan. Super proud to announce that I’ll be furthering my volleyball career at The University of Houston #gocoogs #htowntakeover pic.twitter.com/Ab0Yz9iR7O
