Pitt middle blocker Ryla Jones announced her commitment to Penn State women’s volleyball out of the transfer portal on Wednesday. Jones posted her decision to transfer to Happy Valley on her Instagram.

As a true sophomore this past season, Jones logged 107 kills on a .382 hitting percentage and 98 total blocks across 83 sets for the Panthers, earning AVCA East Coast Region Honorable Mention.

In her first year with Pitt, the Oxon Hill, Maryland, native started all but one game for the Panthers and was named to the ACC All-Freshman team as well as the AVCA All-East Coast Region Team.

Jones now joins Alexis Stucky as transfer players who have signed with the Nittany Lions in this cycle.
