SPOKANE, Wash- Gonzaga Volleyball Head Coach JT Wenger announced the signings of the four newest members of Zag Volleyball on Friday. The Zags are adding player from across four states with the official additions of Margaret Foote, Natalie Norton, Camryn Thruston and Molly Scout Weston. Coach Wenger remarked that these "four student-athletes that will advance the program athletically and scholastically! This group brings athleticism and strong volleyball experience to the program and all four are so excited to be Zags!"
Margaret Foote
Middle Blocker | Anacortes High School / Anacortes, Washington
Margaret Foote joins the Zags as the top Middle Blocker recruit in the state of Washington in the 2027 signing class. Described by Prep Dig as a strong attacker with "a deep and diverse offensive game with outstanding timing while running attacking routes", the Middle Blocker has been praised for a strong work ethic and will continue to improve her game while moving across the state to Spokane starting next season. The 6'2" blocker is Prep Dig's third ranked overall prospect in the state of Washington after playing her club volleyball with NPJ Forefront.
Wenger on Foote: "Margaret is a great lateral mover, which gives her an edge as a middle blocker when closing to both pins. She is dynamic as an attacker off one foot and has a large range of an offensive arsenal".
Natalie Norton
Outside Hitter | Pantego Christian Academy / Arlington, Texas
Natalie Norton signs with GU just five days after winning a state championship in Texas, leading the Pantego Panthers to the 4A Volleyball championship after a 35-5 season. Norton passed the 1,500 career kill milestone for the Panthers this season on the way to the state title. The 6'4" outside hitter has also stood out as a top attacker, earning All-State and USA NTDP invites after a standout high school and club career. The Arlington native is listed by Prep Dig as the 73rd overall recruit in the nation in the class of 2027 and was described as "simply one of the best attackers in her grad class" after killing a remarkable 58.5 percent of her attacks.
Wenger on Norton: "I've seen Natalie's career develop from a young age as she's continued to develop into a season volleyball player who has competed for some of the top clubs in the country. Her volleyball savvy will be an asset to the program alongside her passing ability and strong arm."
Camryn Thruston
Libero | Highland High School / Gilbert, Arizona
Camryn Thruston is currently leading the Highland Hawks through the Arizona State playoffs, clinching a spot in the semifinals and serving as a defensive specialist for the 31-9 team. The libero has over 700 digs in her high school career, playing her club volleyball with Aspire Volleyball club.
Wenger on Thruston: "Camryn is a very intuitive defensive player that has a natural instinct for the ball. As an athlete she understands how to use positioning and her body to maximize her range. She is also a steady serve receiver, which will serve the program well."
Molly Scout Weston
Pin Hitter | Sherwood High School / Sherwood, Oregon
Molly Scout Weston joins the Zags after playing as both an outside and middle for Sherwood, leading her team in both kills and blocks. Named one of Oregon's "top high school volleyball players" by The Oregonian, Weston was named the Athlete of the Month for Sherwood for November 2026 and has been committed to the Zags for over a year prior to signing day. Prep Dig noted that the 6'4" attacker's "mobility and coordination make her a real threat" as she joins the Zags next season.
Wenger on Weston: "I first saw Molly Scout out if the corner of my eye while recruiting in Reno. She had a long frame and a huge jump and plays really high. Her versatility will prove to be a strength as she can play multiple positions. She is so eager to be a Zag and I'm excited to get her in the Martin Centre as soon as possible."
