Columbus Fury took to the Twitter account to announce this shocking revelation and shared a post. They penned, “Preseason camp is right around the corner! We can’t wait to get the team on the court!“

Interestingly, this year’s training camps are all set to witness an infusion of three promising players from Texas Longhorns by making their mark in the recent Pro Volleyball Federation Draft. Leading the pack is the first pick, Asija O’Neal of Texas Longhorns, accompanied by Reagan Cooper, the 14th pick, and Jenaisya Moore, the 28th pick. 

The first overall pick, Asija O Neal, features being 2X NCAA Volleyball Champion and 3X All-American Winner. However, she is not the only outstanding player on the roster, as Columbus’ Fury includes notable players, including Megan Courtney Lush. Lush is known for two-time NCAA National Championship win and 2014 Most Outstanding Player for the NCAA Tournament accomplishment. 

In addition, the roster would boast talented Buckeye greats Ashley Wenz, Raymariely Santos, and Ivania Ortiz. Even though there are commendable players on the list, the team roster will be trimmed to only 14 players, excluding two practice players. Therefore, by January 22, the intensity of the competition would rise for the players as they will be fighting for the coveted spot.
