Louisville Commit Becomes Only High School Player Selected to Represent Team USA

The future is bright—and it just got a little brighter.

​

Blair Thiebaud, a dynamic 2026 Louisville commit and elite setter from College Station, Texas, has been named to the U.S. U21 Women’s National Team ahead of the upcoming World Championship. Thiebaud, who plays her club ball with powerhouse Houston Skyline, is the only high school athlete selected to the prestigious roster.

​

Her selection places her among the best young players in the country, a nod to the poise, vision, and court leadership she brings to every match.

​

Team USA will gather at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs from July 27 to August 5 to train and prepare for the upcoming international competition. For Thiebaud, it’s not just another camp—it’s the next step in a journey that already has her on track to make waves at the collegiate and international levels.

​

Her inclusion is a massive honor and a testament to the skill and maturity that caught Louisville’s eye early in the recruiting process. And now? The rest of the volleyball world is taking notice.

Get ready, Cards fans. Blair’s just getting started.
