Brooklyn Ross, DS/L for 360 17 HP, is the kind of defender every team loves to have on the floor because she simply does not stop moving. Her discipline in coverage and constant readiness allow her to keep rallies alive and extend points that seem over. She plays with urgency but stays under control, showing great awareness and effort in every phase of defense. What stands out most is the energy she brings to the court — her hustle is contagious, and her teammates clearly feed off the confidence and motivation she provides behind her passing and defensive presence.

Brooklyn Ross Brooklyn Ross 5'3" | DS/L Lake Ridge | 2027 TX , a Class of 2027 libero from Lake Ridge High School in Mansfield and NRG Volleyball Club, has built one of the most impressive individual resumes of any back row player in the 2027 class in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She earned District Newcomer of the Year as a freshman and followed that with District Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore, back-to-back individual honors that demonstrate she has not simply been along for the ride but actively leading her program’s defensive effort from the moment she stepped on the varsity court. Her statistics speak directly to the volume and quality of her contributions, with 378 digs, a 3.4 dig-per-set average, and 530 serve receive receptions in a single season as an underclassman. At 5’3″ she plays well beyond what her height suggests, using elite court reading and explosive first-step movement to get to balls that most players never reach. She also led Lake Ridge all the way to the UIL 6A D1 bi-district round in 2025 before falling to eventual national champion Byron Nelson, which tells you she has been competing against the best and performing. Brooklyn is one of the more accomplished liberos on the Texas Watch List and programs that have not already reached out need to do so immediately. We are very proud to have her listed on our Official Watch List and will be keeping our eye on her progress.
