Simpson And Campbell Named To Fab-50
May 13, 2021 | Volleyball
BOULDER – Two future Colorado Buffaloes, Jahara Campbell and Taylor Simpson, were named to the Volleyball Magazine 2021 Fab-50 for 2021.
Â
"I'm happy for Jahara and Taylor's continued recognition," said head coach Jesse Mahoney. "They highlight a very talented and deep group of recruits that we expect to impact our program next fall."
Â
The pair are named to the longest running girls volleyball rankings which honor the top 50 senior-aged players in the nation. They join a long list of Buffs to earn this honor, including Nicole Edelman, Meghan Barkman, Kelly Campbell and more. Simpson and Campbell will become the 23rd and 24th Fab-50 to sport the black and gold. This is just the sixth time in CU history that the Buffs have landed multiple athletes from the same Fab-50.
Â
Campbell, a 6-1 outside hitter from Chandler, Ariz., was named an Under Armour First Team All-American and was also named a PrepVolleyball.com All-American.
Â
Her future teammate, Taylor Simpson, is a 6-0 setter from Calabasas, Calif., was named a Third Team All-American for Under Armour and did not have the opportunity to make the PrepVolleyball.com list as she didn't get to play her senior season.
Â
In total 11 athletes are headed to the Pac-12 from the list. Three are headed to Stanford and USC, followed by a pair to CU and Oregon and one to UCLA.
Â
The future Buffs signed in November and have since been joined by three others for the 2021 signing class; middle Bella Simkus from Denver East, libero Emilea Stepaniuk from Ridgefield, Wash., and PrepVolleyball.com All-American libero Emma Torstenson from Northfield, Minn.
