Any time Callie Creath wants to calm her nerves at a tournament, she cracks open a book and escapes for a few minutes.

Creath is a voracious reader, and sped through the Harry Potter series and Assassin’s Apprentice trilogy as quickly as she could turn the page.

Five-Star Callie Creath Has Signed With Tennessee

“Everyone looks at me like I am super dorky when I tell them that,” Creath said. “I am a big fantasy girl. I love reading things that put me into a magical world. It’s really cool how the authors can come up with all the stuff they do for a series. I read one after another and really connect to the characters for a long period of time.”

Creath will begin receiving some new reading material once she arrives at Tennessee in the fall. The five-star recruit from Austin, Texas signed with the Lady Vols in December

“When I went on my visit, I got this sense that everyone was really warm and welcoming. I felt immediately at home,” said Creath, who also considered Oklahoma, SMU and Alabama. “The people are so nice. Out of all my official visits, that town was the most welcoming. I think that is what made it my first choice.”
