Entering his first season with Ball State Men’s Volleyball, freshman libero Sammy Adkisson has high expectations for his collegiate career. Having attended Vernon Hills High School in Vernon Hills, Illinois, Adkisson finished his high school career as the all-time digs leader in his school’s history with 1,016.
However, his team wasn’t always the most competitive in key moments.
“Our team was subpar,” Adkisson said. “After regionals, we didn’t make it very far. It was a fun team — we worked very hard but didn’t get many results.”
While Adkisson and his teammates were not always able to achieve their desired goals, Adkisson credited his local training programs in helping him succeed on the court and in coming to Ball State.
