Baylor’s Rachel Travis has accepted a scholarship offer to play volleyball at Tennessee Tech University and plans to sign Wednesday.
Travis was first recruited at TTU by coach John Blair, who retired after last season. New coach Dave Zelenock came in at the first of the year and continued to recruit her.
There was a period of time during her senior year at Baylor that Travis was unsure if she wanted to continue playing volleyball beyond high school. After consulting with her parents and considering the time she had invested in the sport, she made her decision.
“It just kind of hit me,” Travis said. “I’ve been playing for so long, I don’t know if I could really decide to move on without volleyball being part of my life. I think Tennessee Tech is a perfect fit for me.”
Travis visited the Cookeville campus on her own in January, then took an official visit in February.
