Volleyball Adds Three for 2025
July 18, 2025 | Volleyball
NORMAN – Oklahoma head volleyball coach Aaron Mansfield announced the addition of three transfer athletes for the 2025 season. Ada Awagu, Harper Hall and Piper Justiss will round out the roster for the Sooners this fall.
The trio join spring transfers Dionii Fraga, Kenadie Patterson and Emoni Bush and freshmen Tekoa Barnes, Alyssa Flack and Avaya Maga as the nine newcomers for 2025.
"Ada is a very talented young middle blocker with a very high ceiling," Mansfield said. "We do some unique things with that position as a program and we are excited to help her explore her potential here. We are thrilled to have Ada on campus this summer as she gets acclimated to our team."
Awagu is the daughter of Nnenna and Slyvester Awagu and has three siblings: Erinne, Jianna and Obi. She was a member of the Academic Honor Roll at Johnson High School.
"We recruited Harper out of high school, so we were very familiar with her skillset and work ethic," Mansfield said. "Harper will bring a level of competition that will be felt in our gym right away. She thinks about the game differently and we are excited for her to bring her creativity to the setting position."
Prior to UCSB, Hall attended Highland Park High School where she was a three-year letter winner. She led a team that ranked as high as second in the country among high school teams and was a three-time district champion. She was named the Newcomer of the Year in her conference and earned First Team All-District honors while accumulating over 2,500 career assists. She was named the District Setter of the Year and garnered Texas Girls Coaches Association All-State honors.
A native of Highland Park, Texas, Hall is the Daughter of Wendy and Derek Hall and has a brother, Leo.
"Piper is a setter that can pretty much play every facet of the game," Mansfield said. "We are looking forward to Piper learning the intricacies of our offense and putting her own spin on it. We are really excited to have her join our program and get going with our team this summer."
Justiss graduated from Bowie High School where she lettered one year as a setter. She totaled 204 assists, 141 kills, and 24 aces her senior year, earning 6A All-District honors in 2023. She also played for Austin Skyline, where she finished third at Salt Lake City Showdown and earned All-Tournament honors in 2023. Justiss also spent time with Roots and Top Flight Volleyball Clubs.
A native of Austin, Texas, Justiss is the daughter of Joseph and Laura Justiss and has one brother, Reagan. Her dad played baseball at Liberty and Dallas Baptist.
