Layla Hammond-Furst '24 Recruiting Profile

Growing up in Steamboat Springs, CO, has allowed me to try different sports. I ski, play lacrosse, and placed in the top 3 at USKA national karate kumite/sparring tournaments, but I found my passion for volleyball in middle school and have loved the game ever since. 

I began as a setter but have been a libero/DS for the last four years. I am ranked 5th Libero/DS in the state of Colorado after my junior year in the fall of 2022. As a volleyball libero, I have come to embody several key traits that have helped me contribute to my team and grow as a player. I am collaborative, hard-working, grounded, determined, an improviser, and have good instincts . These traits help me succeed in volleyball, school, and other areas of my life. I am grateful for the opportunities and look forward to continuing to grow and learn as a player, teammate, student, and person.
