Coach Anders Nelson on Rachel Ogunleye… We love Rachel’s athleticism. She’s smooth, an explosive jumper and has a nice arm, giving her lots of potential in the middle position. This year of training will be huge for her. Rachel wanted to be a part of Vandy volleyball, because she wanted to be challenged in every way possible. We’re excited to see how she adapts to her new environment.
