We are excited to announce the verbal commitment of Adrian Phu, a Libero from Langley, British Columbia, to the Waterloo Men’s Volleyball program. 🏐⚫🟡

Adrian says, “I’m extremely excited to continue my academic and athletic ambitions at the University of Waterloo! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to represent the Warriors and take this next step in my volleyball journey.
I’m forever thankful to my coaches, Coach Jeff, Coach Henderson, Coach Harv, and everyone else who has helped push me in every aspect to become the athlete I am today. However, none of this would be possible without my parents’ support, from every late night drive to every early morning tournament, and I’m so thankful to have had them throughout this journey.
Finally, I’d like to thank Coach White for giving me this opportunity to join such an amazing program.”
