Latest Nebraska Volleyball recruit Gabby DiVita revealed that she has been hugely inspired by Harper Murray, hailing from the same club as her. Murray was last in action at the 2025 NCAA Regional Finals, leading the squad with 25 kills, but falling to Texas A&M in the title run. Murray has not only gained fame for her on-court skills but has also become a youth icon, helping attract more attention to the sport and capitalize on NIL opportunities.
Nebraska’s Harper Murray Has Been Key To the New Huskers Recruit’s Career
Murray played for the Legacy Volleyball Club, leading her team to the top finish at the AAU U17 National Championship in 2021. She was also the top-ranked recruit in her class by PrepVolleyball.com. The outside hitter was also part of the US team that competed at the U18 World Championships, winning bronze, and the U19 Pan American Cup, winning gold.
She carried the momentum to Nebraska Volleyball, becoming one of the most prominent players in the program. Now, as she heads to her senior year, a Legacy Volleyball player has been following in her footsteps and entering the Huskers program as a freshman. Gabby DiVita, who recorded 34 kills and three solo blocks for her high school team in a standout performance, recently shared how Murray has greatly inspired her volleyball career. She said:
“Obviously the big one is Harper Murray, you know, seeing her at Legacy like all the time, knowing she was going to Nebraska, and then watching her throughout the last couple years still. So those are my big ones, but I think Harper’s a huge one for me.”
DiVita also expressed excitement about sharing the court with Murray next season.
