\"Morgan<\/a>
Morgan Weeg is a leader on and off the court at Aqua Fria High School in Arizona.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Morgan Weeg came to Josh Kroeger’s attention, he knew he had found a special athlete. Her leadership on the volleyball court was unmistakable.<\/p>\n

“She was the most vocal player on the court,” he said. “Her leadership qualities were recognizable immediately.”<\/p>\n

As a scout for National Scouting Report, Kroeger had\u00a0evaluated a lot of volleyball prospects. However, when he got to know Weeg, he quickly learned he not only had discovered a volleyball player capable of competing in college, but a superb student.\u00a0 She was, in short, the ideal student-athlete.<\/p>\n

“Her presence, attitude and approach on the volleyball court\u00a0are a direct reflection of her hard work and study habits in the classroom, Kroeger said.<\/p>\n

Weeg, a senior at Aqua Fria High School in Avondale, Ariz., is in the top 5 percent of her class, holds a 4.31 GPA, is a member of the National Honor Society, has earned a spot on the Principals List all three years in high school and has been Student Council Class Vice President since 2012.\u00a0 Following her junior season, she made All-District and was named her team’s MVP.<\/p>\n

All those accomplishments combined make her an outstanding college prospect.<\/p>\n

At 6 feet and 215 pounds, Weeg is a dominant presence\u00a0on the front line. According to Kroeger, she is a powerful hitter and very good defensive blocker who continues to work hard on improving her game.<\/p>\n

“Morgan has surprisingly quick feet,” Kroeger said. “She is currently working on strengthening her core and endurance to maximize her vertical potential, and her back row defense.”<\/p>\n

Weeg’s personality shines through on and off the court.<\/p>\n

“I am\u00a0highly active in my volleyball club,” she said. “I have helped coach the 12s and 13s.\u00a0 I also coach a recreational team in Avondale, Arizona.\u00a0 I am constantly involved in this crazy world of volleyball.\u00a0 I have always been told that my energy is infectious and my talking is constant.\u00a0 Those traits have made me a successful volleyball player and a loveable person off the court.”<\/p>\n

Weeg has big plans for college — and beyond.<\/p>\n

“I have decided that I would like to major in physical therapy and athletic training with a minor in Kinesiology,” she said.\u00a0 “I hope to add a minor in coaching, too. I want to be able to one day help other little girls fall in love with the sport I have so deeply fallen in love with.”<\/p>\n
