Juliana Birchbauer Juliana Birchbauer 5'11" | OH Riverview | 2027 State FL is a member of the 2027 grad class and stands five foot eleven as an outside hitter at Riverview High School while competing for GSI Volleyball Club. Jules was astounding at the net during live play, making a major impact as both an attacker and a blocker. She demonstrated the ability to score with multiple shots against a variety of blockers, showing that she is not limited to one offensive look. Her arm swing is strong and extremely quick on the downswing, and when she contacts the ball it seems to disappear in a hurry. That kind of speed through contact makes her very difficult to defend. Beyond the physical tools, her movement patterns on the court stand out. She transitions efficiently, carries herself with confidence, and plays with the type of body control that translates to higher levels of competition. Watching her compete makes it clear that she is a recruit worth tracking closely. She possesses the foundation, athletic ability, and skill set to develop into a next level player, and we firmly believe her ceiling is still rising. With proper cultivation, she has the potential to become a true playmaker for a college program.
