COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Less than a week after the Tennessee Tech volleyball team and head coach Jeannette Phillips celebrated eight members of the squad with Senior Day festivities, the Golden Eagles announced the signing of one of the largest classes of freshmen in the history of the program.
The purple and gold is set to welcome seven fresh faces to Cookeville for the 2025 season, including liberos Caroline Fruge, Brooklyn Rapp, and Ella Watford, middle blockers Tuva Falk and Jordyn Milhouse, right side Sarah Noto, and outside hitter Eryn Spradley.
"This is the biggest recruiting class we have brought into Tech, but due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had two classes morphing together and our graduating class is sizeable this year," Phillips explained. The talent level is also very sizeable in this 2025 class. They know they have some big shoes to fill and they are ready for the challenge. This class is all very passionate about Tech and the buy-in from them is already so high, that the sky really is the limit."
Over the next few days, we'll be taking a closer look at each of the newest members of the Golden Eagle volleyball family. Today, we take a look at Mobile, Ala. native Jordyn Milhouse.

During her time at Baker High School, Milhouse collected Mobile All-County Team accolades following two separate campaigns. She was also named to the Alabama Senior Watch List. Competing for Lower Alabama Volleyball on the club level, she collected Azalea City Kiwanis Player of the Week honors.
The future Golden Eagles produced a strong senior campaign, highlighted by 115 kills on 278 attempts. She also racked up 33 total blocks, 34 digs, and 10 service aces in her final season with BHS.
"Jordyn's athletic ability and enthusiasm to compete instantly makes her a great fit for our program," Phillips expressed. "Her smile is infectious and we are excited to see how her game face looks in the purple and gold. We see her competing for a spot on the court immediately and it'll be fun to see how she upgrades our gym."
