Beard is one of the more recent commitments in this 2027 class with an impressive opportunity ahead of her at Colorado of the Big 12. At 6’0, she is a strong presence on the left side of the court as she can bring some good heat off her arm as a primary attacker. Her range of offense at the left pin and out of the back row also includes high contact and good arm control and movement that can be difficult to slow down. Just shy of 500 career kills for Strongsville, she produced similar outputs her first two varsity seasons as she is averaging 3.5 k/s on a .326 efficiency for her career as she gets set to enter her junior season.
