MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin volleyball and Head coach Kelly Sheffield announces the signing of Addison Horner, Kristen Simon, Madison Quest, and Natalie Wardlow to class of 2025.
“This is a mature group that love to play the game of volleyball. They all have had really good training and come from elite club and high school programs,” Sheffield said. “They have all won at a very high level coming in. They also all have very positive, yet competitive, demeanors that Badger fans will really enjoy watching.”
Addy Horner
6-3 | Setter/Right Side
Wheaton Ill. | St. Francis College Preparatory High School | Coach: Lisa Ston
Club: 1st Alliance Volleyball Club | Coach: Danielle Mikos and Trish Samolinski
“Addy is a really unique player in that she can help us in a lot of different ways. She sets and plays opposite and could do either for us. Her skill set is similar to that of former Badger, Courtney Thomas. She is strong and can set with range. She can work the court attacking-wise. She is physical at the net from a blocking perspective and has a really nice serve. Addy will graduate early and be here in January.” – Head Coach Kelly Sheffield
