The University of Arkansas announced today that it has signed four volleyball players on National Signing Day to its 2020 class. Head coach Jason Watson welcomes signees from four different states that together have combined for five state titles, two regional titles, and a national championship.
In describing the new Razorbacks volleyball signing class, Watson said, “Each of the four signees have experienced tremendous success in either their high school or club teams. In some cases, they have had success in both. They are coming to Fayetteville to help us move this program in the right direction, they understand the challenge we face and embrace it. Their passion for the sport and competition will leave a lasting impression on our program.”
