Montana volleyball has signed five players for its 2027 roster: Oregon twins Addison and Avery Herber, Colorado middle blocker Grace Bovaird and setter Jersey McCollum, and Frenchtown, Montana, outside hitter/defensive specialist Rachel Walls. Coach Allison Lawrence says the group brings athleticism, size and added offensive power.

By the Numbers
  • 5 recruits join Montana for 2027.
  • 6-foot-2 Avery Herber is Prep Dig Volleyball’s top-ranked outside hitter in Oregon’s 2027 class.
  • Setter Jersey McCollum is ranked No. 2 among Colorado recruits by Prep Dig.
  • Rachel Walls has recorded more than 1,250 career digs and kills.
Yes, But

Bovaird is returning to full form after an injury limited much of her high school career. Lawrence sees room for further physical development as she continues her comeback.

What's Next

Walls is set to lead Frenchtown at the 2026 Class A state championship before joining Montana’s 2027 recruiting class.

Bottom Line

Montana’s five-player class pairs highly ranked recruits with a standout local prospect, adding depth and physicality across several positions.
