The Ducks add prep standouts Piper Hanson, Madelynn Henry and Avery Masters.
EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon volleyball head coach Trent Kersten has announced the Ducks' incoming class for the November signing period. The Ducks have added prep standouts Piper Hanson, Madelynn Henry and Avery Masters.
Â
Piper Hanson | L/DS
Creswell, Ore.
Â
Hanson was named the 2026 3A Mountain Valley League Player and Co-Defensive Player of the Year on the heels of a standout senior campaign for Creswell (Ore.) High School. As a pin hitter for CHS, she had nearly 650 kills, 540 digs and 72 aces in her final prep season. Hanson also earned a spot on the All-State Tournament First Team and was a 2025 OSAA 3A All-State First Team performer.
Â
Kersten Says…
"Piper is one of the elite liberos in this class, and it's special to sign a player from just down the road in Creswell. She also led her high school team in kills which tells you a lot about her athleticism. She will compete as a libero for us and add another dynamic athlete to our position group…huge potential to make an impact here."
Â
Madelynn "JoJo" Henry | OH
Dell Rapids, S.D.
Â
Henry is a three-time Class A All-State selection and has Dell Rapids (S.D.) HS into the state tournament after a runner-up finish in 2025 and state title run in 2024. Having played for the varsity team since the seventh grade, Henry has racked up more than 2,600 kills during her prep career and leads the state in kills (483) and hitting percentage (.380) this season.
Â
Kersten Says…
"JoJo is a competitor through and through. She plays with a relentless edge and gives everything she has on every, single point. She's already invited a lot of energy in the weight room…that work ethic is going to serve her well as she competes on the outside for us."
Â
Avery Masters | MB
Folsom, Calif.
Â
Over the past three seasons, Masters has been a mainstay in the middle for Folsom (Calif.) High School and has totaled 823 kills, 235 blocks and 62 aces. Masters and FHS are still active in the CIF Open State Tournament. The team repeated as CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division I champions this season. Masters is also a recent participant in the 2026 USAVNT Development Program summer series.
Â
Kersten Says…
"At 6-4, Avery brings size and physicality that will make an immediate difference in our gym. She has a really high ceiling and she's eager to get to Eugene. She has improved greatly in the past year and we can't wait to start working with her when she joins us in January."
Â
Henry and Masters will be on campus in January.
Â
July signee Ana Berto (Sao Paulo, Brazil) is also set to join the program in 2027. She was named the best setter at the 2026 U21 Brazilian Club Championships and helped her country to bronze at the 2025 U21 World Championships.
Â
Oregon, the No. 12 team in the country, is in Los Angeles this weekend for a pair of road matches at USC and UCLA. The Ducks and Trojans play Thursday evening (6 p.m., B1G+) at the Galen Center.
