Houston Volleyball Adds Evans, Jones, and Casale to Strengthen Future Roster

The University of Houston Volleyball program continues to build momentum, securing three exciting additions to its roster. The Cougars have officially signed outside hitter Catie Evans, setter Cameron Jones, and libero Bella Casale—three athletes expected to elevate the team’s depth and competitive fire.

Head Coach David Rehr and his staff have emphasized recruiting players with high ceilings and strong competitive energy, and this class checks every box. Each brings distinct strengths, championship-level experience, and the hunger to contribute right away.

Three Standouts Join the Coogs

Evans, an explosive outside hitter, enters the program with a reputation for powerful swings and energetic court presence. Jones provides Houston with a smart, tactical setter who can run a dynamic offense. Casale rounds out the trio with her defensive instincts and strong serve-receive abilities—skills that will support the team immediately.

Together, these additions mark another step forward as Houston continues to assert itself on the national stage. With the Big 12 offering some of the most competitive volleyball in the country, adding versatile athletes is key to the Cougars' long-term success.

Why It Matters

Recruiting remains the backbone of any strong collegiate program, and these commitments reinforce Houston’s growing recruiting momentum. The Cougars have been pushing to elevate their national profile, and adding three players with elite prep careers signals that the program is trending upward.

Fans should expect these newcomers to make an impact as soon as they step on campus, contributing to a culture built on development, resilience, and competition.
