Nebraska Volleyball’s Harper Murray makes her feelings known on the transition from high school to college volleyball

Harper Murray shared her thoughts on the challenges and adjustments required for a successful transition from high school to college volleyball. In a February 2025 interview with Hurrdat Sports’ Wired Axcess, she spoke about how the athleticism and level of competition in college differ from high school, adding (32:30 onwards):

“The athleticism changes when you get to college, you’re playing against girls who are four years older than you. So there’s little things like that matter the most. I always tried to put in work outside of the gym, of course. But something the coach always used to say to us was, ‘Volleyball doesn’t know your age,’ which is very true.”

“Volleyball doesn’t know your age, it has no idea. So I think, in the back of your mind, that’s something to keep in mind,” she added.

She further mentioned in the interview that having the right mindset about age alone isn’t enough as one needs to put in the hard work to meet the expectations, athleticism, and level of competition required to excel in college compared to high school.
