Lady Vols add transfer Ajack Malual from Chaminade

Lady Vols add transfer Ajack Malual from Chaminade.

Tennessee announced the addition of junior rightside hitter Ajack Malual to the Lady Vols’ volleyball program.

Malual played at Chaminade from 2022-23.

“Our staff is excited about the addition of Ajack to our roster this summer,” Tennessee head coach Eve Rackham Watt said. “She is a player who we believe has a tremendous amount of potential and could really blossom in our program.

“As an opposite, she has a lightning fast arm with great range and will be a point scorer on the right side for us. She comes with high-level international experience as well as two seasons of college volleyball under her belt. That experience will be invaluable as we add her to our relatively young team this summer. We can’t wait to welcome her to Rocky Top.”

🟧⬜️Welcome to Rocky Top🟧⬜️

Eve Rackham Watt announces additions to Lady Vols’ volleyball

Tennessee head coach Eve Rackham Watt announces additions to Lady Vols’ volleyball.

Tennessee head coach Eve Rackham Watt announced the addition of two student-athletes to the Lady Vols’ volleyball program.

Libero and defensive specialists Orian Drore and Julianna Santiago are part of Tennessee’s 2024 recruiting class.

“We are delighted to finally announce Orian Drore will be joining our Lady Vol Volleyball program,” Rackham Watt said. “Orian is a player who will compete from day one as a libero and help solidify our back row play. She has an excellent platform and good range on defense but what really separates her is the ability to out of system set and communicate at a high level. She will join us this May, as we train for our foreign tour, and our staff is looking forward to watching her develop.

“Juliana is a player who we have watched play for a couple of years now. She has gotten better every season, and we always believe in looking for local talent first. We are excited to add one of the best in-state players to our roster, while continuing to bolster our defensive specialist unit. What I love most about ‘Santi’ is how hard she plays, her competitiveness and how vocal she is with her teammates. I know she will be a great addition to our program, and she too will join us in May as we start training for our international trip.”

Drore is from Mater Academy in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, while Santiago hails from Battleground Academy in Nashville, Tennessee.

Ayden Ames named 2023-24 Gatorade National Volleyball Player of the Year

The Texas Longhorn commit earned the honor in Gatorade’s 39th year of recognizing high school excellence, both on and off the court.

The celebration of the nation’s best in volleyball shined a spotlight on Prosper, Texas — where a confetti-filled surprise awaited the 2023-24 Gatorade National Volleyball Player of the Year, Ayden Ames.

Ames, a 6-foot-4 attacker who is headed to the University of Texas next year, thought she was showing up at her high school for a photoshoot.

Simple enough.

But one “Gatorade Dunk” later, the future Longhorn learned that she was the recipient of the prestigious Gatorade honor, which includes a roster of past winners who have combined for 91-plus gold medals and 13 National Championships on the volleyball court.

Former Gatorade National Players of the Year Averi Carlson and Harper Murray surprised Ames with the trophy at her high school surrounded by her family, coaches and teammates.

WHAT. A. MOMENT.

Joining Hall of Famers like April Ross and Kerri Walsh Jennings, Ames was selected from over half a million other student-athletes. And her high school career showcased that she was more than worthy of such an achievement.

The nation’s No. 3 recruit ended her run at Prosper with 1,594 kills, 312 total blocks, and 96 aces in three varsity seasons.

Chris Tobolski, chief editor at Vballrecruiter, summed it up best:

“Ayden Ames is a force whether she’s front or back row,” said Tobolski in an email statement. “She’s a dynamic attacker who not only puts tremendous pressure on defenses, she opens up the rest of the offense for her teammates because she draws so much of opponents’ attention. With the experience she has playing middle blocker, she adds another wrinkle because she’s that rare outside who can run slide attacks. Just look at what she did against the eventual Texas 6A state champion in the postseason, when she recorded a season-high 27 kills—what further proof could you want that she’s arguably the best player in the Class of 2024?”

To that on-court dominance, Ames also demonstrated the type of community leadership that make Gatorade’s athletes so unique, having volunteered locally for women’s and pet shelters and participated in the “Heal The Bay” coastal clean-up in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

Also a member of her school’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter, Ames tutored and mentored a young boy with brittle bone disease, while she maintained a 3.9 GPA in the classroom.

Overall, it’s easy to see why her name was added to the legendary list of volleyball athletes.

“Of the half a million student athletes who play volleyball nationwide, Ayden stood out for her dedication to excelling as a student-athlete,” said Gatorade president and general manager Michael Del Pozzo in a statement. “Not only did she have a phenomenal season, but her resume off the court made her a clear choice for Gatorade National Volleyball Player of the Year.”
