Lexi Bumah '25 Recruiting Profile

As a student-athlete, my journey goes beyond the realm of athleticism; it revolves around fostering intelligence both on and off the court. Bringing a distinctive facet to the table, I proudly held the title of a Mensa member for the past seven years, serving as the youth ambassador for the Dayton region.

Beyond the intellectual sphere, I've ventured into the realm of public speaking as a Youth TEDx speaker, fulfilled roles as an MC, and contributed as a committee member for TEDxYouth. In my local community, I channel my passion for volleyball as a volunteer coach at the YMCA, engage in park volunteer work, and provide tutoring at an afterschool community center.

Navigating a challenging juncture during my junior year in high school, when diagnosed with a blood clot in my leg and two in my lungs, I refused to succumb to adversity. Instead, I embraced recovery by dedicating myself to regular physical therapy sessions and strength-building, incorporating volleyball practice three times a week.

Defying the odds, I secured a coveted starting spot on the highest-level team at my volleyball club. This journey taught me resilience and instilled an unwavering spirit, reinforcing my commitment to never give up. Guided by the mantra "Do today what others won’t," I embody qualities of dedication, commitment, discipline, and adaptability.

Coaches have described me as athletic, intelligent, passionate, a team player, coachable, and driven. To these accolades. With aspirations of playing collegiate volleyball and pursuing a law degree, I see this moment as an unparalleled opportunity. Ready to embrace challenges with unyielding dedication and a steadfast commitment to excellence, I invite you to join me in transcending expectations together.
