William & Mary volleyball just made a serious move. Maya De Los Reyes, a standout from the Oregon Ducks, is joining the Tribe. And she's not coming alone. With freshman Erika Larson also in the mix, the 2026 class is shaping up to be something special.
The De Los Reyes Factor
Let's be real: when a player like De Los Reyes joins your program, you're not just adding talent. You're adding experience. Her time with the Ducks? 96-33 record over four seasons, NCAA Tournament runs, and an Elite Eight appearance in 2022. Yeah, that’s no joke.
Head coach Kellie Catanach Johnson couldn't be more thrilled. "It was clear from our first conversations that her energy and experience will impact our gym right away," she said. And you could feel it coming. With her leadership and high-level training, De Los Reyes is set to be a game-changer.
Larson's Potential
Then there's Erika Larson. She's been on the radar, snagging spots on the AVCA Phenom Watchlist and the JVA Watchlist. She even participated in the USA Volleyball National Training Development Program. "Erika is an exceptional addition," said Catanach Johnson. The Tribe's freshman class? Straight up dominant.
What's Next for the Tribe
Adding these players to the roster isn't just about depth. It's about raising the ceiling. With Regan Hill, Emily McKee, and Teagan Pocius already on board, the Tribe is building something special. And you can bet their opponents will have no answer for this influx of talent.
William & Mary is gearing up for a season to remember. With this signing class, the Tribe isn't just looking to compete. They're looking to take over. That’ll do it.
