In 2022, Sam Greenslade helped lead Ole Miss to an 11-17 record, including a 7-11 mark in conference play. He took over as acting assistant coach in October, coordinating the Rebels’ defensive efforts for the final stretch of the season. Working with the defense, Greenslade helped middle blocker Sasha Ratliff earn her second All-SEC and AVCA South All-Region nod and guided junior Payton Brgoch to the fourth-most blocks in a single season in program history.

In his first season with the Rebels, Greenslade was part of the best turnaround in Division I Volleyball. Greenslade helped Ole Miss improve from 1-19 in 2020-21 to 21-9 in 2021, a 65 percent increase in winning percentage. He assisted in the Rebels’ return to the Big Dance, helping Ole Miss go 8-3 through its final 11 games to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Under Greenslade, the Rebels broke multiple program records, including total team blocks in a season (479), total team block assists (427) and team attacking percentage (.255). He also helped three Rebels in Sasha Ratliff, Kylee McLaughlin and Anna Bair earn ACVA South All-Region honors.

After a standout career at George Mason, Greenslade joined the Rebels in the summer of 2021. A five-time letter winner for the Patriots at outside hitter, Greenslade earned 2021 All-EIVA Second Team accolades in a season where he racked up a total of 174 kills and 22 service aces.

He ranked third in the EIVA as a senior, with a total of 1.85 digs per set and concluded his George Mason career tied for third in program history with a total of 110 service aces.
