BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Junior outside hitter and Missouri native Madison Scheer was amongst those named preseason All-SEC the conference announced Wednesday.
Scheer’s breakout sophomore season was highlighted by an AVCA National Player of the Week award, just the second such honor in program history.
Across the 2023 campaign, Scheer racked up career highs in kills (385), kills per set (3.35), hitting percentage (.263), points per set (3.60), total blocks (54) and blocks per set (0.46).
The SEC also released the preseason coaches’ poll with the Tigers slated tenth out of the fifteen teams. Newcomer Texas was picked to finish first. In his four years as head coach, Brent Crouch has led teams to outperform preseason poll expectations in each of the last three seasons.
The full list of preseason All-SEC recipients and the SEC coaches’ poll are listed below.
