North Platte Community College volleyball player Taylin McNair (Imperial) signed a letter Wednesday to continue her volleyball in the Fall at the University of Nebraska-Kearney.

“We are so excited that Taylin has earned this opportunity to play at Kearney,” said North Platte Volleyball Coach Alexa McCall. “Taylin is such an awesome young lady on and off the court and comes from a great family.”

The 5-8 setter who played for Chase County High School, played in 36 matches this past season. She had 752 assists, which was second most among all Region IX Division II players and topped the Region with 47 service aces. Her 297 digs, were ninth best in the Region.

“I chose Kearney because of the great atmosphere and also the great people,” McNair said.

She plans to go into UNK’s interior design program.

“I can’t wait to become a Loper.”

Her college coach McCall said McNair was a Knight team captain because she was a great leader and her teammates trusted her. “She always played composed and mentally tough,” McCall said.

As a sophomore she was named to the Region IX All-Tournament Team and received honorable mention by the Omaha World Herald on the all-Nebraska two-year college team.

“She is also a great student and all around good person,” McCall said. “I am proud of the things Taylin has accomplished here at NPCC and excited to see her continue playing at Kearney.”
