Walnut Grove's Brynn Stephens: SMU-Bound Outside Hitter and Junior National Champion
Few outside hitters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area carry the résumé that Brynn Stephens has built heading into her senior season at Walnut Grove. The 2026 USA Volleyball U19 national team member helped her TAV club program capture a Junior Nationals title this past summer, cementing her standing as one of the premier attackers in the state.
Stephens brings more than just a powerful arm to the court. Her ability to set gives coaches flexibility and makes her a difficult matchup for opposing defenses to scheme against. That versatility, combined with her elite club pedigree, has made her one of the most complete players in the region.
After her time at Walnut Grove, Stephens will take her game to the college level at SMU, joining a program in the American Athletic Conference.
