“Gabby Blossom Verbals to Penn State,” DigNittanyVolleyball, Feb. 26, 2017

Russ Rose Then (2018): “Gabby is an Andi Collins Award winner, and was recognized as one of the top prep setters in the country. Nothing that I saw in the spring semester would tell me that that was a bad selection. She’s very competitive and she has great control of the ball. No one wants to be in the gym more than her and this is a trait I think is really important for setter and for players that hope to make an impact on a program. All of the teams she’s been on have been successful and I think a lot of it is based on her ability to play the game and contribute to the team’s success.”

Russ Rose Now (2025):
