WILL BANTLE
A 6-foot-5 redshirt senior libero on Penn State University’s men’s volleyball team, Will tallied three assists and one dig in the Nittany Lions’ season-opening sweep of visiting BYU last Thursday. In a rematch two nights later he added two assists and five digs to help Penn State to another three-set victory. In September, Will and teammate Cal Fisher won the inaugural USA Volleyball Men’s Collegiate Beach Challenge in Owings Mills, Maryland. Will captained Loyola High to the Southern California Regional championship in 2016-17. His sister Taylor was a middle blocker on the women’s team at Brown and his brother Jackson played opposite and libero for UCLA.
