Former Nebraska Volleyball coach John Cook on Keri Leimbach

In a conversation with Husker.com, former Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook talked about Leimbach and shared his thoughts about the 5'4' libero.

"Keri is a homegrown Nebraska girl who loves the school and the state. She's always dreamed of being a Husker. Keri is a 5-4 libero but she plays with big range and personality. Her floor defense is exceptional, as she passed 2,000 career digs in high school. Keri is a proven winner with four state championships in high school. We're excited to have her come in and help us continue to be elite in the back row," John Cook was quoted as saying by Sports Illustrated.

Coach Sue Ziegler of the Lutheran Lincoln High School praised Keri Leimbach. Talking about her talent and passion for the game, Ziegler reflected on the time when they had to bump her up an age group.

"It didn’t matter their age Keri wanted to challenge herself to be better. When she’d come to our camps sometimes we’d have to bump her up an age group or two because she was already talented as a young girl," Ziegler was quoted as saying by Huskerextra.com.

The Nebraska freshman was recently part of her official school graduation, graduating from Lincoln Lutheran High School. Keri expressed her feelings while sharing glimpses of her graduation.

"A big weekend of celebration! Finally made it official #graduated"
