Jessica Gysin – A-List Hottest College Athletes in America – 2010

Jessica Gysin is on
Meet USC junior Jessica Gysin. We found her recently taking part in The Collegiate Nationals Beach Volleyball Tournament where she partnered with all-American Taylor Carico to finish second to a team from the University of Texas.

Those details matter very little. We’re here for beautiful college athletes. And Ms. Gysin officially has our attention. Allison Stokke is getting a little too thick and cheerleaders aren’t really athletes so a new chick on the scene is needed. The difference between Gysin and just another pretty face is that this chick can really play.
