"I am excited for Cara to join our program," Collier said. "She has competed at a very high level during her club and high school career and is going to bring in lots of talent and winning experience into our gym."

Prior to her arrival at Georgia Tech, Bianco had been selected for two all-region teams, two all-state teams, and the American Volleyball Coaches Association's Best and Brightest team of 2021, among several other accolades, Georgia Tech reported.

Bianco, originally from Milton, Georgia, was the team captain during her senior year in high school, Georgia Tech reported.
