Ayanna Watson has been on the radar for a while. She is a highly touted prospect out of Las Vegas who will take her talent to Pittsburgh. Coach Dan Fisher has been able to pull top talent from across the country, especially from the West. Watson will have one year to play with Olivia Babcock who has taken Pitt to another dimension. Watson can continue the dominance of the Panthers as a national brand. She not only has made an impact for USA on the international level, but she’s the type of athlete who can really cash in on NIL with her athleticism, physicality, and having a connection to West. She will also be one who can pull in other talented recruits to join her as a Panther.

Watson has consistently carried Bishop Gorman’s offense in key moments this season. She led the team with 17 kills and 7 digs in the win over Bishop Alemany, followed by 15 kills and 10 digs against Corona del Sol, and added 13 kills with 9 digs versus Kamahalalea.

, an outside hitter from Vegas Aces 17 Ren and a University of Pittsburgh commit, is ready to showcase her leadership and mental toughness at the UA Next Volleyball Camp. She takes pride in staying composed during high-pressure moments and being a steady presence her teammates can rely on. For Ayanna, leadership is about showing up with intention and making those around her better.
Being invited to this event is a meaningful honor. She feels grateful for the opportunity to represent her God-given abilities on such a competitive stage. This camp is more than a showcase, it is a moment to reflect on the journey so far and prepare for the next level.
If she could bring one teammate with her, it would be

Ayanna stays at the top of the Class of 2026 state rankings and ranks #7 nationally! She’s easily the most dominant player in the state, always finding new ways to level up her game and court IQ. Whether it’s dominating the front or back row for her school and club teams, Ayanna is a game-changer. She’s a beast at attacking and blocking, and she’s getting even better as a defender on the back row. –Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv
