Sydney Heisig made history this summer by becoming the first SEC commitment in the history of Chattanooga School for the Liberal Arts.
CSLA’s junior two-sport star, who has over 1,000 kills and 1,000 points scored in her prep volleyball and basketball career, will play volleyball at the next level for the University of Alabama.
The Crimson Tide landed one of the Volunteer state’s top outside hitters, as the 6-foot-3 Heisig has recorded 127 kills over her past six matches for the Lady Eagles, which included 32 kills against Heritage (Ga.) and 30 kills against Meigs County in winning efforts.
She is now the second CSLA student-athlete to commit to a Division I program, joining track star Kennedi Winbush, who signed with Tennessee Tech last year.
“First and foremost, I want to thank God,” Heisig posted on social media following her commitment. “The Lord is so sovereign, and I am incredibly grateful for His guidance throughout this journey. Two years ago, when I first started playing club volleyball, I never would have imagined being given an opportunity like this.”
