WNKY Staff,

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WKU ATHLETICS) – WKU Volleyball head coach Travis Hudson and his staff have announced the addition of Camila Adams to the Hilltoppers’ incoming class. A defensive specialist out of Sellarsburg, Indiana, Adams will arrive on The Hill next fall, ready to make an impact in the program.

“So excited to add Camila to our 2024 roster, she brings much-needed ball control and defense to a team that should be one of the better offensive teams in the country,” said Hudson on the latest addition. “On top of that, she is a flat-out winner. She is a state champion from Providence High School — one of the premier programs in the state of Indiana.”

Camila Adams is a native of Sellarsburg, Indiana and played her prep ball at Our Lady of Providence High School, just north of Louisville. She led the Pioneers to their first state championship in five years in 2022, then going back-to-back with another IHSAA Class 3A state title during her senior season in 2023. The 5’8″ defensive specialist earned four varsity letters (one in swimming), while picking up 1,032 career digs in high school volleyball.

After attending the Under Armour All-American Selection Camp in 2021, she was a member of the IHSVCA All-Star Team in 2022. In a stellar senior season at Providence with another state title, Adams was named IHSVCA 3A All-District and IHSVCA second-team All-State.

Adams played club for KIVA in Louisville, most recently on their 18U Red team, and was on the AVCA All-America Watch List in 2023.

An honors student, she was named to the 2023 IHSVCA Academic All-State team and is involved as a House of Faith leader and Student Ambassador at Providence.

The daughter of James and Sabrina Adams, she has two younger sisters, Juliana and Ella, and is a Brazilian-American dual citizen. Adams intends to major in financial planning on The Hill.

WORDS FROM ADAMS: “I chose WKU because of the culture, love, and pride within the volleyball program. There is drive and ambition from each player and coach, which brings success to the program.”
