Lailah Clayborne Lailah Clayborne 5'9" | MB/RS Long Beach Polytechnic | 2028 CA , a 2028 middle/pin from King Drew Magnet of Medicine and Science, is a driven student of the game who leads with both positivity and accountability. She’s confident in her ability to attack through the middle and is putting in the work to grow her skills as a pin hitter and back-row defender. Always observant and eager to learn, Lailah brings a balance of humility and hunger to every practice. Her biggest gains have come through aggressive attacking, earned through extra reps, optional practices, private lessons, weight training, and dedicated film study.

Reflecting on what draws her to the HBCU experience, she shared:
“Playing at an HBCU interests me because it is an opportunity to play surrounded by people who I have shared experiences with and who I can relate to on a whole different level. Playing at an HBCU could shape my volleyball journey by empowering me to level up like the elite Black girls around me, as well as encourage other Black girls. Outside of volleyball, playing at an HBCU could come with making lifelong friends who share my same interests and rich history.”
