16 Travel- Assistant Coach

Picture
​Kyla “KJ” Johnson grew up in Richmond, Virginia, surrounded by sports and competition. She spent her early years playing soccer and competitive cheerleading before discovering her passion for volleyball in middle school. From the moment she picked up the sport, she knew it was something special.

KJ joined Richmond Volleyball Club (RVC), where she consistently played on the top team every year and developed into a versatile, driven athlete. Her dedication and leadership on the court caught the attention of college programs, and during her senior year of high school, she committed to play Division I volleyball at Elon University, a decision that carried personal meaning, as her father also played football for Elon.

Now a junior at Elon, KJ is majoring in Marketing with a minor in Psychology. She continues to build on her family’s athletic legacy through her hard work, team-first mentality, and love for the game that started years ago in Richmond.
