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.
