Posted Dec 5, 2025
Jackie Taylor was a 15-year-old who had been playing volleyball for two years and was coming off a nondescript season on Gulliver's JV team. At the time, there wasn't a hint she would become a middle blocker for a North Carolina team playing the NCAA tournament this week. Taylor's dad -- well, he was an athlete, too, and played in the NFL. (ESPN.com)
