Katie Clark, who played for TCU from 2018 to 2020 as a middle blocker and right-side/opposite, is reported to have transferred to Penn State, and now lists Penn State women’s volleyball in her social media bios. Also, she is not listed on the TCU 2021 roster.
We believe Katie will have two seasons of eligibility at Penn State, if she chooses to exercise her “Covid” extra season. Welcome Katie!
