“Logan, you are a star on the court, Division I National Volleyball Player of the Year,” Harris said. “You are a star in the classroom as an Academic All-American. You are a leader on issues like racial justice. And you are a community leader. And now you are a national champion with your Texas Longhorn teammates. We are so proud of you.”
“This season was one like no other,” Eggleston said. “We as a team built our culture around an African term that means ‘I am because we are.’ Every day we emphasized the importance of the people around us as our main motivators. We knew we could not accomplish our goals alone and could only succeed when we put our trust in each other.”
