Top 10 NCAA volleyball players entering the 2024 season
Sarah Franklin, Wisconsin
Franklin will play a fifth and final year of college volleyball at Wisconsin in 2024 on the heels of earning AVCA Player of the Year honors last season. After beginning her college tenure at Michigan State in 2020, the Florida native has taken her game to a new level over the past two seasons with the Badgers, earning third-team All-American honors in 2022 as Wisconsin won a Big Ten regular-season title. Last year, the 6-foot-4 outside hitter was a catalyst for the Badgers reaching the national semifinals as she posted 473 kills 鈥� earning her 1,000th career kill in September 鈥� with double-figure kills in 28 matches. Franklin also had 219 digs, 60 blocks and 4.7 points per set. Her ability to impact the game on both ends makes her a candidate for back-to-back player of the year awards and keeps Wisconsin in the national championship mix.
