OXFORD, Miss. – The Ole Miss volleyball program and head coach Bre Henry has added another standout addition in the transfer portal, signing star outside hitter Gabi Placide.
“We are so excited with the addition of Gabi to our program,” said Henry. “She has had a phenomenal career already and we cannot wait to continue that success with her as she competes and becomes a force in the SEC as a Rebel! Rebel nation will fall in love with Gabi and cannot wait for you to welcome her into the community and watch her and the Rebs this fall!”
Placide joins a class of three dynamic transfers for the 2025 season, alongside Jordyn Towns (Alabama) and Vivianna Samaniego (Cal State Bakersfield). Placide joins the Rebels for her junior year after two seasons at Northern Colorado and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
A two-time All-Big Sky First Team honoree and the 2023 Big Sky Freshman of the Year, Placide has shined as one of the top statistical hitters in the nation. Placide finished last year with 496 kills, 198 digs, 91.0 total blocks and 38 service aces, while hitting .242 overall.
Her 585.5 points ranked 23rd in the nation, while her 496 kills ranked 28th overall, as Placide captured national attention with AVCA All-Region honorable mention honors in 2024. In her career, Placide has tallied 739 kills and 150 blocks, while serving as a catalyst for the team’s success at National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC), where they made the semifinals and recorded the most wins in program history with 28.
A standout student, Placide is also a two-time All-Big Sky Academic Team honoree in addition to her time on the court.
Henry and her staff have shined with the development of transfer portal players since arriving in Oxford, including with the progress of setter Mokihana Tufono, who was named AVCA All-Region after joining the program last offseason.
