Still pretty quiet -- is everyone at Madison Square Garden cheering on the Nittany Lions? Well, we're here with our Slacker Staff churning out recruiting updates for Penn State's great 2018 recruiting class. This one is on Jenna Hampton, the 5-6 1/2 libero from Berkeley Prep in Tampa Bay, Florida. Here's the link: www.dignittanyvolleyball.com/recruiting-update-jenna-hampton-3-3-18/
And below is an excerpt:
Jenna had a terrific 2017 season -- including being named the #31 PrepVolleyball.com Senior Ace and named to VolleyballMag,com's 2018 Fab 50 team. In naming her the 2017 Hillsborough Player of the Year, the Tampa Bay Times had this to say about Jenna:
Note: Jenna played OH in high school (like former PSU libero, Roberta Holehouse), but she'll be a libero/ds at Penn State.

On a team loaded with talent, and 10 seniors, Hampton stood out. She was a consistent outside hitter who usually converted the big points. She had 224 kills, 44 aces and 344 digs on a team that went 30-2 and won the Class 5A state championship in Jacksonville in five sets over Lake Highland Prep. While Berkeley Prep has won 16 state titles, it hadn’t won a championship since 2011 prior to this year. "It’s a season everyone is going to remember," Hampton said. "It was fun, of course, but also all 10 seniors were really close. The chemistry was there because we’d all been playing since our freshman year. It’s one of the best seasons I’ve ever had."
