Volleyball’s Brodie White Commits to Rockhurst University

Volleyball player Brodie White has committed to play volleyball and attend Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. 

“I had a great conversation with the coaches on my visit,” said White. “I love everything about the school: it is Jesuit, Division I for volleyball, and a great school and business program. It has everything I was looking for. I love all the guys in the program.”

They compete in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) and play in the combined National Collegiate Championship division, regularly scheduling and playing against major Division I programs (such as Hawai'i or UCLA) during the regular season.

“It felt like the place I wanted to be since I stepped on campus,” said White. “They are in touch with their faith, all the guys are great, and the facilities are amazing. The coaches are welcoming and feel they will build me into a better person and not just a better volleyball player.”

He will play for Head Coach Corey Marks, who led the Hawks to the GLVC Tournament semifinals in 2026. After leading the team through its inaugural independent season in 2025, Marks guided the Hawks to a share of the inaugural GLVC regular-season championship in 2026 with a 12–2 conference record

“It has been a lifelong dream of mine to play Division I volleyball,” said White. “I am super excited to have this opportunity with some amazing guys at Rockhurst.”

White has played for both the indoor and beach volleyball teams for the Broncos. 

During the fall beach season, White has been a standout in the No. 1 pair, going 9-5 overall. The team recorded a school-record 12 wins and advanced to the state quarterfinals, winning a region title. He and teammate Aiden Goryl are the No. 7 seed in the Division I Pairs Tournament starting Nov. 16. 

“We worked so hard for this goal,” said White. I am looking forward to the opportunity to play the best players in the state and compete at a super high level. Hopefully we go deep.”

White was an All-Central Region second-team selection in the spring indoors after recording 179 kills and leading the team to a region title and 25 wins. 

“Brodie is an incredible student of the game and has been a real blessing to our volleyball program, on and off the court,” said Head Coach Tony Oldani. “He's a coach's player, eager for feedback, good or bad, inquisitive, and eager to grow, and he brings joy to everything he does in the gym. He's a gifted pin hitter, a tremendous leader, and an energetic teammate and competitor. The Hawks of Rockhurst University will immediately benefit from having Brodie in their gym next year.”

He is ready for more this spring.

“I am looking forward to playing with my teammates one more time,” said White. “We are going to have a great season, and there is a lot to look forward to working with those guys each day.”
