Lady Cardinal volleyball coach Aleah Hayes has announced the signing of Tatum Nevill.

Nevill, a 6-0 outside hitter/right side native of Iola, is the daughter of former Cardinal basketball player Scott Nevill (1984-86).

"We look forward to adding Tatum to our roster, because she is a leader on the court, athletic and versatile both at the net and in the back row," Hayes said. "Her competitiveness sets her apart and she will impact the team and program quickly."

In her first two high school seasons, Nevill helped Iola to a state championship in 2016 and state runner-up finish in 2017.

She was named to multiple all-state, all-district and all-Brazos Valley teams during her four-year varsity career. Nevill was also named to multiple all-academic steams.

As a senior, she recorded 537 kills and had a .336 hitting percentage and 95.6 serving percentage.

"I chose TVCC because I loved the feel of the campus and environment," Nevill said. "I could really see myself there.

"I also loved the program that Coach Hayes is striving to build and I knew that I could be happy playing in that kind of program."

Nevill's twin sister Taylor will also be playing for the Lady Cardinals.
