"Kirra [Musgrove] is first and foremost one of the best setters in the class," Morrison said. "She has great touch as a setter and experience running a fast offense that will fit what we are trying to do in Aggieland. She is also a physical athlete that can play the opposite position if needed and adds a presence at the net as a blocker regardless of what position she is playing. She has played up a year at the club level for the past 2 seasons and brings a wealth of USA and club experience to Texas A&M. With that comes poise in big moments and an ability to control the court. We can't wait to get her to College Station."
Taryn Morris – Outside/Opposite Hitter
Joining the Maroon & White from Little Elm, Texas, Morris provides the Aggies a range of options thanks to her world-class arm and ability to play both outside and opposite.

Her first involvement with the program came back in 2022 and she has since continued to impress staying involved with the national team for the past two years.
"Taryn [Morris] has the potential to play on either pin as an opposite or outside," Morrison said. "She is a rarity in the junior's world in that she plays six rotations as an opposite. With that comes just about every tool you can have. She plays good defense, has a good serve, and plays an all-around game. However, what makes her stick out is her arm and range. She hits a heavy ball and has the ability to move it around all over the court. What you learn as you get to know her more is a sense of joy and love of learning. She can take coaching and immediately make change, something we value a lot here. We can't wait to get her to Aggieland."

"I think the first thing that stood out about Addi [Applegate] is her consistency," coach Morrison said. "I like to watch an entire match to see what every touch looks like. I vividly remember watching three high school matches and seeing quality touch after quality touch. She is one of the best serve receive liberos in the class. She has the ability to take a hard driven ball and not only dig it but put it in a good place for her setter to run the offense in rhythm. What stands out as you watch more is a steadiness as a competitor and teammate. I've seen her be big in some of the biggest moments and I've seen her care deeply about her teammates and friends. She is going to make a great Aggie."

"We value the ability to play the entire game in this program and Megan [Fitch] epitomizes that," Morrison said. "She has a pure platform and can pass the ball as well as most college upperclassmen. I vividly remember matches where she took the hardest attack in the gym and dug it perfectly over and over again. There are other players in the class that bring that ball control but what makes her stand out is her ability to do it at her size. She brings height to the outside hitter position and athleticism that will be fun to watch for years. What fans will notice right away is the joy she plays this game with.
