Honors: 2021 Academic All-Big Ten
Head coach Kelly Sheffield on Wohlert:
“Julia is a great young lady with a fantastic future, both on and off the court. She’s intelligent, kind, and a quick learner. She’s relatively new to the sport but has turned into a very good player. She received really good coaching and her development just took off as the club season progressed. The size of her block and the amount of space she takes away from hitters is very unique. She has the potential to be a game changer with her blocking. Offensively, she can hit off of one or two feet and she can hit first or second-tempo sets.”

Why Wisconsin?
"I chose Wisconsin because I knew this school and program would push me to be the best all-around person that I could be.
The campus is amazing, and the academics are top-notch. I loved the culture of the team and saw myself playing in the Field House."
