White amassed 970 digs, 246 assists and 36 service aces during her career in Corvallis. She picked up a career-high 448 digs, good for 3.73 digs per set, during her junior campaign. White established a career best of 29 digs in Oregon State's five-set win at then-No. 6 Washington State in late October 2023. She was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week earlier that month after a 43-dig weekend in victories over Arizona State and Arizona.
The two-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection has 13 20-dig performances to her credit—nine during the 2023 season—and posted a rare libero double-double with 24 digs and 11 assists in a five-set win over Nevada. White also carries a career high of four aces against Arizona State from the 2022 season.
Ulmer Says…
"Adding Ryan to our team is a major win. She brings a ton of experience and energy to our locker room. She is also someone our teams have respected playing against, and know, firsthand, the positive impact she can make in a match. Ryan is an elite passer and defender with a desire to be elite at everything she does."
White becomes the fourth UO newcomer for next year's roster. Earlier this month, Oregon announced the signing of high school standouts Logan Bell (Beech Grove, Ind.), Kenna Cogill (Gilbert, Ariz.) and Izzy Mogridge (Lutz, Fla.).
