We recently unveiled an extensive list of 86 local players who are playing college football this fall. Now, we look at local names playing the other fall sports of volleyball, cross country, and soccer (played in fall in college). Below are the 55 fall sports athletes (volleyball, softball, cross country) playing at the collegiate level in 2021.

NOTE: If we missed someone please email us and we’ll be sure to add them in. We cross-checked with each college roster. If that player is on the roster, they’re on the list.
