BEFORE BALL STATE: A native of Boynton Beach, Fla., Clapp spent the last two seasons at Barry, beginning his collegiate career in 2025 under current Ball State assistant coach Charles Norman, who served as the Buccaneer's head coach during the program's inaugural season. Clapp led the team in digs during both his freshman (176) and sophomore (222) campaigns, recording 17 matches with 10 or more digs. In 2026, Clapp earned the program's first ever Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (IVA) Defensive Player of the Year honor, along with a first team all-conference nomination, as he helped Barry to a 21-6 record and an IVA semifinal appearance. He recorded a career-best 17 digs at Roosevelt (Jan. 16) and a career-high six assists in a straight-set win at Edward Waters (March 27).
