Menlo School student-athletes Hanna Hoffman and Jack Murad announced their plans to pursue their academic and athletics careers at the NCAA Division I level on Wednesday, national letter of intent signing day.
Hoffman is set to play volleyball at Boston College and Murad will play water polo for Bucknell.
More than a dozen more Menlo senior student-athletes are also planning to play NCAA sports at the Division I-III and will announce their commitments as their admissions become official.
“We are so proud of all our student-athletes in the Class of 2022 and a special shout out to these two student-athletes who have signed NLIs today, as they pursue their academic and athletic interests at the next level,” Menlo School Director of Athletics Earl Koberlein said. “Their hard work in the classroom, on the court and in the pool is exemplary and we look forward to supporting them and their teammates tonight in the playoffs and beyond.”
Hoffman is a four-year varsity setter and opposite hitter and has helped the Knights record a 72-32 mark during that span. The Knights have also qualified for every possible Central Coast Section top-tier Open Division and NorCals.
Menlo, which hosts St. Francis in a NorCal Regional semifinal Saturday, won the West Bay Athletic League Foothill Division in 2018 and 2021. Hoffman is a three-year captain and two-year first team All-League selection.
Murad is a three-year letterwinner who helped Menlo reach CCS Open Division play in 2019 and 2021, reaching the semifinals both years. He has 95 goals in 2-plus seasons, including the shortened fall 2020 season, with 65 goals, 33 assists and 26 steals as a senior.
