For junior opposite Ben Plaisted, his talents extend far beyond the white lines of the volleyball court.

You may remember Plaisted as one half of the rap duo behind “Rambler Wings” and “Ramblers on the Road,” but there is much more to this athlete than his illustrious YouTube career.

When Plaisted isn’t at practice or playing volleyball, you can find him at a local open mics at Uncommon Ground, Engrained Cafe and farmer markets, playing guitar and belting out Bruce Springsteen, A Tribe Called Quest and Earth, Wind and Fire.

Plaisted said his father, Jim, was also instrumental in encouraging Ben to pursue music and volleyball.
