Longhorn volleyball sophomore Alyson Jennings is more than just a defensive specialist. The Costa Mesa, Calif., native is described by friends as really easy-going, fun and energetic. The 2005 team’s “Lady in Black” is a vital part of the Longhorns success on the court this season and her attitude off the court is a whole other contribution in and of itself.

Recently, Jennings took time to give TexasSports.com a better perspective into her personality by answering a few “Quick Hits.”
