Peyton is from Louisville, KY, where he started playing volleyball competitively at 12 years old. A setter his entire career, he played club volleyball for KIVA and Louisville Fury VBC, during which he was a member of 4 straight bid-earning Open teams at USAV Nationals.

 

Peyton attended St. Xavier High School in Louisville, KY where he was a 3-time state champion, 2-time captain, and all-state setter. He decided to forego his opportunities to play collegiate volleyball in favor of a traditional college experience at Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH. 

 

During his time at Xavier, he later joined the university’s club volleyball team that defeated the #1 ranked school in the country and finished as National Runner-Up in the 2019 D1AA NCVF National Volleyball Championships in Denver, CO. In 2020, he graduated from Xavier University with magna cum laude honors. 

 

This is Peyton’s first year with A5. Previously, he held a brief stint as an assistant coach with Louisville Fury VBC 16-1’s team. The team earned a bid for Open at USAV Nationals and finished with a top 25 national ranking. 

 

Peyton is excited to join the A5 family and is committed to the growth and development of boy’s volleyball in Georgia.
