Arizona volleyball’s Jordan Wilson landed a spot on the preseason All-Big 12 team, the conference announced Wednesday.
She was unanimously named to the 18-member squad, representing 11 schools, by Big 12 head coaches who could not vote for players on their team.
The senior outside hitter led the Wildcats last year with 446 kills and 3.81 kills per set, a news release said. She also tallied 13 double-doubles and recorded 10 or more kills in 25 matches. Her accomplishments at the time resulted in Wilson being named to the All-Big 12 first team and earning AVCA All-Region honorable mention.
