Setter/right side hitter Talyn Jackson will begin her Virginia Tech career a semester early, enrolling in January to begin learning the Hokie offense.
“Talyn combines athleticism with a fast pace offense,” VT coach Jill Wilson said on signing day. “We will have a huge advantage to have her enrolled in the spring semester to get working on her setting offense and benefit from our strength training program. Talyn is a driven player that isn’t afraid to dream big for the future of our program and being in setter role, that leadership will be vital.”
The 5-11 rookie comes to Blackburg from Gardnerville, Nevada, where she starred for Douglas High School and Silver State Volleyball Club. One of Prep Volleyball’s Top 150 Senior Aces, Jackson notched four triple-double and 20 double-doubles as a prepster, while earning three all-league honors and leading Douglas to a regional title in 2014. One of USA Volleyball’s High Performance A1 Team members, Jackson was an all-state and academic all-state honoree.
