One of the top middles in this class at this point of their evaluations and experience, Clayton brings presence through her movement and energy. This combines with her athleticism, physicality, and length to be big asset for her teams. Her point scoring opportunities could increase given how well she can get up and swing, but her club team features some heavy and successful pin action, which can benefit from her activity and success by drawing attention from the defense. Clayton continues to improve the quality of her attacking range as well through different movement patterns and options without compromising her lift and contact point above the net.

Clayton also plays for AVC’s top 15U team and brings some big length at 6’2. She continues to develop her range and efficiency of her movement between the pins on both sides of the ball that includes a high contact point when attacking and the ability to fill up big space defensively. Her ceiling is high and expect her to develop into an elite recruiting prospect going forward.

The 6’2 middle has seen significant opportunities in 2025 with 69 sets played for #2 ranked DII team. She is averaging 1.4 k/s on nearly 100 total kills while adding 2.5 b/m as one of their top net defenders by average. Her length is a big asset, which will continue to be a key part of her game as he improves her movement offensively for more efficient timing and bigger arm speed. Magnificat has good offense among their core trio and any production from Clayton on that side of the ball will be a big bonus as they will rely on her defense to put good pressure on opposing hitters. The Blue Streaks will next face Avon in the DII semifinals.

Clayton has great length that creates a lot of advantages for her offensively as a middle at this 14U level. She has been developing her offense in a variety of ways as she has seen opportunities to swing at the left pin and through quick options in front and behind her setter. When on time in the air she can contact high and score aggressively.
