New Volleyball Commits -- FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Cards Announce Three New Commits

One might say that the Dan Meske Era has now officially begun. Louisville volleyball has, over the last week, co-announced (along with the players) three new commitments via social media. These will be the first players in the pipeline to join the Louisville program under their new head coach, so it's exciting to see how Meske is seeking out the next talent to step onto the floor for the Cards. All three are 2027 recruits. 

The first announcement came from Carsyn Comer. Comer is a 6'-2" right hander who is listed primarily as a middle blocker. The 2027 recruit hails from Westfield High School in Westfield, Indiana and plays her club volleyball for Munciana, based out of Yorktown. Comer's parents were both collegiate athletes at the University of Toledo: her mom played basketball while her dad played football. Comer was a 2023 AAU All-American and was on the 2024 JVA All-National Team for U17 players. 

Next came Elizabeth Bower, from Nampa, Idaho. Bower is a 5'-9" defensive specialist/libero who plays for Skyview High School and Idaho Crush. Bower also comes from an extremely athletic family, with her father being a D1 basketball player and her mother a D1 volleyball player. Elizabeth is following in her three older sisters' footsteps as she looks to play at the collegiate level: Whitney is an assistant coach at Utah and is a setter in the PVF, Eden is an OH at Auburn, and Alex was on the All-Big 12 Freshman team last season for BYU. 

The most recent commitment came from Keilani Ledaja-Brewer. Keilani is a 6'-0" outside hitter from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The Cards pull her from the backyards of Tobacco Road, so that's certainly a win. Ledaja-Brewer lists herself as "confident, a leader, and a cheerleader for [her] team" which is something that Louisville volleyball fans love to see from their players. VBadrenaline.com gives her approach touch a 9.8/10 rating, so we may have another player on our hands that can leap out of the gym. 

All in all, Meske's tenure is shaping up to be exciting before it even truly gets underway. The Cards will be looking to maintain the momentum from their successes last season, though there is only one way to top finishing as the national runners-up. 

Until next time, go Cards!
