Wisconsin volleyball: former Spartans star Sarah Franklin transfers to UW

The defending champion Wisconsin Badgers added another piece to the attacking puzzle via the transfer portal, adding former Michigan State first team All-Big Ten outside hitter Sarah Franklin.

The 6-foot-4 Lake Worth, Fla. native was Michigan State’s best attacking player last year, firing home 3.96 kills per set to lead the Spartans. Defensively, Franklin added 2.25 digs per set and had 59 blocks on the season, third best for MSU.

Franklin started the first few games for the Spartans as a true freshman during the spring 2021 season before going down with an injury.
