"I'm excited about the level of athleticism and craft this group brings. It's a personality-filled class full of great teammates that's going to be a perfect match with the values of our program. We're excited to develop this group and help them master their craft while training and competing with Michigan volleyball."

Virtue on Garnett:Â "Kapri comes from an incredibly athletic lineage and knows what it takes to compete at the highest level. She has a genuine desire to be great.
