Florida State volleyball seniors Khori Louis and Taylor Head will continue to be teammates at the professional level as both were drafted by the Atlanta Vibe in the Pro Volleyball Federation Draft on Monday afternoon. Louis was picked sixth overall and was the first middle blocker off the board and the second ACC player off the board. Head was selected with the fifth pick in the third round and the 21st pick overall.
Louis has emerged as one of the nation's top middle blockers the past two seasons for the Seminoles. The Tallahassee native was a First Team All-ACC performer in 2023 and ranked third in the entire country with a .432 hitting percentage and has picked up right where she left off in 2024. So far, Louis is second on the team with 299 kills and a .417 hitting percentage which is second in the ACC and 13th in the entire country. Louis's 299 kills are the most she has ever had in a season. Louis recorded her 1,000th career kill on November 8 against Wake Forest to become the second middle blocker and the eighth overall player to record 1,000 career kills in the rally scoring era. Louis also leads the team with 120 blocks and 1.14 blocks per set.
Head has been a great addition to the FSU volleyball team in her one year with the Seminoles after four seasons at Arkansas. A two-time AVCA All-American, Head currently leads the team with 301 digs while adding 275 kills which ranks third on the team. Head has recorded 10 double doubles this season, eight which have come during ACC play. Head has recorded 11 double digit kill matches in her last 14 matches.
The Atlanta Vibe's season begins on January 10 against the Omaha Supernovas in Omaha, Neb. The Vibe play its home matches in Gas South Arena in Atlanta. The PVF announced on Nov. 20 a multi-year extension with CBS Sports where 20 matches will be televised on CBS Sports including one match on the CBS Television Network. PVF is in its second year of existence and consists of eight teams.
