Riley Simpson

Kohan on Simpson
"As a 5th year graduate transfer, Riley brings experience and maturity to our team. I love her size as a front row player, both as an attacker and blocker. But she also has the ability to play 6 rotations and impact the game defensively. We strive to make the best Colorado players into Rams and we can't wait to celebrate her in her home state!"
Â
Simpson on CSU
"I chose CSU because of its exceptional academic and athletic programs, which align perfectly with my aspirations as a student-athlete. As a volleyball player, the opportunity to represent my home state is incredibly meaningful, allowing me to play the game that I love while staying connected to my roots. Additionally, the strong sense of community at Colorado State offers a supportive environment that fosters both personal and professional growth. The university is also known for its excellent teammate camaraderie and dedicated coaching staff, creating an atmosphere where athletes can thrive both on and off the court. This combination of academic excellence, athletic opportunity, strong relationships, and leadership makes Colorado State an ideal choice for the next chapter of my journey."

Eve Wilson

Kohan on Wilson
"Eve is a dynamic player that can play both middle blocker and opposite, where she's had success in both positions at her previous school. She has great length and hits a very heavy ball, both weapons as a terminal attacker."
Â
Wilson on CSU
"I chose CSU because of the coaching staff, team culture, championship environment, and location closer to home. I also love the huge support for volleyball from the Fort Collins community."
Â
Brenna Rowland
Junior | Middle Blocker | 6'2" | Scottsdale, Ariz. | Chaparral High School | Charleston Southern | @brenna_grace_
Â
Kohan on Rowland
"Brenna is a big, physical blocker and has attacking range with many different types of set types. She also has an infectious energy in both the way she plays and the way she interacts with everyone around her, the fans will love getting to know her."
Â
Rowland on CSU
"When I first talked to the coaches I knew CSU would be an incredible fit. They were awesome and provided me with so much knowledge about the game, life, and school! When I visited I knew it was the place for me, the atmosphere was incredible and you could tell the coaches and staff really pour a lot into the team. When I met some of the girls they was truly amazing and welcoming! The Ramily is definitely the place I want to be at and I'm so excited to be apart of it!"

Karsyn Fetzer
Freshman | Outside Hitter/Libero | 5'9" | Kersey, Colo. | Platte Valley | @fkarsyn
Â
Kohan on Fetzer
"I've always believed Karsyn is a perfect fit for Colorado State Volleyball. She is the ultimate competitor with an extremely high volleyball IQ. Her ball handling skills make her versatile as both an attacker and back row player. And our community will love her background with agriculture and 4-H."
Â
Fetzer on CSU
"I chose CSU because it felt like home when I was visiting. I loved the community and the campus. I also love the coaching staff, they want the best for us athletes. I am very excited to be staying in Colorado to become a Ram."
Â
All four Rams will join the program beginning this spring.
