Bradley is a new name on the Arkansas volleyball scene after moving from Jenks, Oklahoma, for the 2026-27 school year. The first thing that stood out to me was her energy. She is always moving, communicates well and brings a lot of athleticism to the middle.

Russellville(7-4-1) does a good job spreading the offense around between Herring, Hovis, Skiles and Bradley, so the kill numbers don’t tell the entire story. Bradley has quick hands and reacts well at the net. She reads the offense, gets herself into good blocking position and is second on the Cyclones in blocks. She also gets touches on a lot of balls that may not show up in the stat book but slow the attack down enough for the back row to make a play.

Offensively, Bradley is still developing her connection with the Russellville setters and refining her game. There is plenty of room for growth, and I think she will make a big jump as the season progresses. She also has the athletic ability to slide outside and attack from the pins, giving her some versatility beyond the middle.

Macie Bradley Macie Bradley 6'0" | MB/OH Russellville | 2028 AR plays with a presence that you feel the second she steps on the court. Her energy is infectious as she celebrates her teammates hard and never backs down from a challenge at the net. I chose her because she brings both physicality and spirit to the middle position. She closes blocks fast, hits with purpose, and elevates everything around her. There’s no off switch when Macie’s on the floor; she competes for every touch. She’s coachable, aggressive, and plays with a whole lot of heart. Macie makes things happen, plain and simple. And that’s exactly the kind of middle I want on my 2028 All-Star team.
