Although dropping one spot this rankings cycle, Forrest has been a mainstay near the top of this list for the 2027 class from the jump. She entered with noticeable polish to her game and that has not changed. As one of five middles in this current top 10, what is more identifiable now in her game is that she has grown her impact offensively away from the middle at times to also be terminal on the right side with high contact and good movement from her arm. As the depth of her impact is still from the middle, this team can feature her in different ways that expands her points scoring opportunities.

Forrest (*pictured) is one of the more polished prospects in this class and is coming off a big season for Ursuline as she helped lead them to a runner-up finish in the DIII state title race. She has potential to make an equal impact on both sides of the ball each time she is on the floor. She can terminate with power and range through both sides of the court and through a variety of options. Defensively, she gets up and over quickly to put big pressure on opposing hitters. As a key factor for the Lions, she averaged nearly two kills per set while finishing second in the GGCL in total blocks with 92.
