Ceasar's University of Georgia Accolades (2017 & 2018 season)
"T'ara is one of those volleyball players that has just excelled and blossomed in college at a rate that is such a reflection of her work ethic, her skill set and the coaching she has received."
What they're saying about Ceasar – T'ara's Former High School Coach Michelle Mask:
"T'ara was 'THE' volleyball player here in Bay County and at Mosley during her high school days. She was an incredible player who handled herself with amazing grace and humility. She was the ultimate team leader on and off the court. During her senior season, she suffered from an ACL tear, but she made the ultimate comeback and proved she was one of the top volleyball players in the SEC. It has always been a dream of T's to play in her home state and for the Florida Gators. I think T will make an incredible impact on her new teammates and coaches. Bay County cannot wait to see her shine as a Florida Gator."
