Eboni was raised in Waller, Texas and played volleyball at Waller High School where she led her team to the district playoffs multiple seasons.

Additionally, she competed nationally with her club track team.

Eboni finished in the top 4% of her graduating class and decided to continue her education at the University of Texas. While she had multiple college offers, she chose to rehabilitate her back following an injury and focus on her education.

Eboni is finishing up her final year at The University of Texas at Austin and is majoring in Youth and Community Studies.
