“Recruiting Update: Tori Gorrell,” DignittanyVolleyball, May 30, 2013
Russ Rose Now (2026): “Tori was one of the few players we recruited that played at Happy Volley Tournament on Memorial Day weekend. She was a player from Canada, and her father was a former professional football player in Canada, so she came from tough stock and she competed hard. The year I asked her to change position from middle to outside hitter, she said whatever I needed her to do to help the team, she would do. Some kids, you like them at the beginning, and then when they’re so accommodating to do the best for the team and being an adult, you have an even greater affection for them. Tori was great. She married one of our practice players, Joey Farrell, who also spent time with the men’s team.”
