March Commits: 2027s from the Northwest and Cali Isles Regions

March was a busy month for many 2027 prospects. VB Adrenaline is diving deep into the month’s announced commitments, starting with those from the Northwest and Cali Isles regions.

​

Halle Bryce, OH/OPP - BYU

Level: Elite Orange

Bryce is a pin hitter from California who has just committed to play for BYU. A key player for City 17 Gold, she stands at 6’2”, allowing her to bring both size and power to every swing. With City 15 Gold, She placed third in the GJNC 15 Open division in 2024.

Bryce is now the fifth 2027 commit to BYU, along with libero Aubrey Burns, middle blockers Jadyn Clinkscale and Klancee Larsen (the latter being a fellow March commit), and setter Katherine McDonald. 

​

Chloe Willman, OPP - Pepperdine

At 6’5”, Willman brings plenty of size and power to the right pin. Even without getting her full approach in, her high contact point creates deadly angles to put the ball away for a kill. And when she does get her full approach, opposing defenders better watch out. 

Willman joins Pepperdine from Hawaii’s Spike and Serve, where she plays for the 17 G Dan team. 

​

Evelyn “Evie” Pool, MB - UC San Diego

Level: Elite Orange

Pool was originally committed to Duke before a change of plans now lands her on the opposite side of the country. She has trained with USA Volleyball’s U17 National Team Development Program (NTDP) and plays club volleyball with Forza1 North 17 ONE.

Lauren Green, OH - Army West Point

​

Maria Waldorf, MB - Cornell

Seattle’s Maria Waldorf is another recent commit headed to the Ivy League. She already stands at 6’2”, but plays like she’s even taller thanks to a wide wingspan and diligence at the net.
