Wisconsin volleyball lands first 2028 recruit as Kelly Sheffield continues to load up

The Wisconsin Badgers volleyball team has added their first 2028 commitment of the season. Kelly Sheffield has added 6’3 hitter Taylor Freeland, who is one of the top players in the nation for 2028, a No. 16 overall prospect according to Prep Dig. She is easily one of the top hitters in high school, and Sheffield continues to load up on hitters.

This is Wisconsin’s first commitment of 2028, but Freeland will be coming into a Wisconsin squad that’s loaded with talented young hitters. She will add another dynamic to the mix, but fits with Sheffield’s philosophy of a pin-hitter who is not scared to hit it hard but also has a change of pace to her attacks. Freeland is known for her kills in high school and uses her timing and height to attack the net.

Taylor Freeland has committed to Wisconsin. The 6-foot-3 pin hitter is the No. 16 overall 2028 prospect according to PrepDig and is the 11th-best recruit according to VB Adrenaline. She attends Riverton High School in Utah and plays club with South County. pic.twitter.com/nL9LuoxxVv
