FORT WORTH – TCU volleyball head coach Jason Williams announced the signing of three incoming freshmen in his 2025 signing class on Tuesday afternoon.
The Horned Frogs add McKenzie Berg, Anna Rice and Reese Wilburn to their 2025 signing class, which already includes highly-touted freshman Samara Coleman. More information on each signee in the class can be found below:
McKenzie Berg | 6-2 | Outside Hitter | Midlothian, Texas
A 6'2" outside out of Midlothian, Texas, McKenzie Berg comes to Funky Town with nearly 1,000 kills in her high school career. In three seasons at Midlothian High School, she racked up 987 kills, including a whopping 511 on a .313 clip as a senior, and was named one of the top hitters in Texas by LoneStarPreps.
In 2024, she helped the Panthers to a 35-9 record, along with a District 15-5A title and MVP honors. Midlothian advanced to the state playoffs in all three seasons she played. At the club level, Berg competed with NRG Volleyball and finished 10th at USA Volleyball Junior Nationals in 2024, and she also trains with Texas Advantage.
"McKenzie is a high ceiling player that could become another program transformational type," said Williams. "She is a dynamic high flyer that is developing into a high-level attacker, and we are fortunate that she chose to come to TCU. We expect big things out of her."
Samara Coleman | 6-1 | Outside Hitter | Spring, Texas
Ranked as the No. 11 player in the nation of 2025 by PrepVolleyball.com, Coleman comes to TCU after an illustrious high school and club career. One of the top talents in Texas, she is a four-time All-State honoree and was a member of the AVCA Phenom watchlist in 2022 and 2023.
Boasting over 1,600 kills in her high school career, Coleman was an elite attacker at Grand Oaks High School, proving pivotal in back-to-back state titles and a 159-33 record. Over her four years with the Grizzlies, she averaged 4.4 kills per set on a .312 clip. Playing all six rotations, Coleman also totaled 987 digs, 136 blocks and 134 aces.
This past season, Coleman added All-American honors to her name, being recognized as an AVCA First Team High School All-American and MaxPreps All-American. She amassed 693 kills at an extremely efficient .332 hitting percentage while leading Grand Oaks to a 2024 Volleyball 6A D1 State Championship. As a junior, Coleman finished with 499 kills as Grand Oaks went 50-1 to win its first state title in school history. She also played club with Houston Skyline, winning bronze at USAV Nationals in 2023.
"We are truly blessed that Samara is in Funky Town," said Williams. "One of the top players in the country, she brings high-level experience as well as being a part of the USA pipeline. A dynamic outside with a big arm, she fits right into our system, and her obsession to be the best will accelerate her ability to do great things for us."
Anna Rice | 6-3 | Opposite Hitter | Edmond, Okla.
Ranked as the No. 1 player in Oklahoma and a top 200 recruit by PrepDig, Anna Rice takes her talents to the Lone Star State. A three-year varsity starter at Edmond Santa Fe High School, she totaled over 900 kills in less than 300 sets over the course of her career.
As a senior, Rice earned AVCA High School All-Region honors after tallying over 400 kills on a .281 hitting percentage. She also was named to the All-State team, representing the West in an all-star match featuring the best players in Oklahoma. Rice played club for the Oklahoma Charge, winning the 2024 AAU 17U National Championship and the 2024 Lone Star Classic 17U Championship.
"We are excited about Anna joining our program," said Williams. "She is an attacker that is used to scoring points, and we expect her to do the same at the next level. She has an infectious smile that radiates joy, which is a pillar of our program. I am eager to see what Anna is able to do when she gets in our gym."
Reese Wilburn | 5-5 | Setter | Bryant, Ark.
A setter from Bryant, Arkansas, Reese Wilburn rounds out the Frogs' 2025 signing class. Playing both setter and defensive specialist throughout her high school career, she amassed over 1,500 assists, 500 digs and 125 aces for the Hornets.
This past season, Wilburn tallied nearly 500 assists and 40 aces in just 100 sets played. She helped lead Bryant High School to a 19-11-1 record and a runner-up finish in the 6A Central division. Wilburn plays club volleyball for Elite Volleyball Academy – Arkansas.
"When it comes to the type of player we are looking for in our program, Reese comes to mind," said Williams. "Her passion for getting better at her craft and being an amazing person is what is needed to elevate TCU Volleyball. We are blessed to have her a part of the 2025 class."
Coleman is already on campus, training with the Frogs after enrolling early in January. Berg, Rice and Wilburn are set to join TCU this summer ahead of the 2025 season.
