The CSU Bakersfield volleyball team is adding some Star power to its 2012 roster as the Roadrunners received a National Letter of Intent from Star Tucker-Campbell, an incoming freshman from Moorpark High School in Moorpark, Calif.

Tucker-Campbell, who also plays for the Reef Volleyball Club, stands at 5-foot-9 and will be a middle/right side player for the Roadrunners.

"We are looking forward to having her on the team because she has a very joyful attitude and is eager to learn," said CSUB head coach Jolene Shepardson. "She is a very fluid athlete that can play any position."

In her senior year in the fall of 2011 at Moorpark, Tucker-Campbell recorded 83 kills, 37 total blocks and 28 digs in her senior season as the playoff-qualifying Musketeers went 18-13.

Tucker-Campbell was a late bloomer in the game of volleyball and only began playing volleyball in eighth grade. Basketball was still her first priority until she joined Reef and volleyball became her No. 1 sport. She became a popular target for recruiting and had offers from schools like Long Beach State, Boise State and the University of Rochester before she decided to become a Roadrunner.

Tucker-Campbell's strong sports background consisting of basketball and track and field experience makes her a versatile athlete with powerful jumping skills.

Tucker-Campbell becomes the fourth player to ink a National Letter of Intent to join the 'Runners for the 2012 season in joining Yuan Fu, Kelsee Sawyer and Tamar Fowler.
