KIRR, SIMPSON, ADDS TWO TRANSFERS TO THE 2024 ROSTER ON JAN. 09, 2024
S.C. CLEMSON – On Tuesday, Clemson volleyball head coach Jackie Simpson Kirr revealed that Kate Hansen and Indigo Young would be joining the 2024 squad. Young, who played four seasons at Charleston Southern, is a graduate transfer to the Tigers, while Hansen, who just finished her freshman year at Texas Tech, will be a sophomore in the autumn of 2024. At the start of the spring semester, both are scheduled to enrol in the programme.

“The combination of Kate and Indigo will provide great depth in our middle position and continue to elevate our front line,” Simpson Kirr said.

Her ambition to excel and her wish to be in a setting where everyone is focused on a single goal make her a great fit for our programme.

Following the holidays, Young and Hansen will start working out with the Tigers in order to get ready for the 2024 season. At a later time, the predicted freshman class will be revealed. Follow Clemson Volleyball on Twitter and Instagram at @ClemsonVB for additional information.
