Early Life and Background
Hull was born on September 13, 1999, and grew up in Liberty Lake, Washington, a suburb of Spokane. She shares an unusually close athletic bond with her identical twin sister, Lacie Hull, who became her teammate throughout high school and college. Much of Hull’s early development came through the Lady Cubs Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) program, where from third to eighth grade she was coached by her father, Jason Hull, alongside family friend Ron Hawkins.
Her father, Jason Hull, played college basketball at Whitworth University, where he earned NCAA Division III All-America honors, while her grandfather, John Hull, played at Western Washington. This multi-generational basketball lineage helped instill a strong competitive foundation. In addition to basketball, Hull competed in varsity track for four years, reaching the state championships as a senior, and played one year of varsity volleyball at Central Valley.
At Central Valley High School from 2014 to 2018, Hull developed into one of the most decorated players in Washington state history. She averaged 13.8 points and 6.3 rebounds as a freshman, then 18.1 points and 8.6 rebounds as a sophomore, leading her team to the Class 4A state title and earning tournament MVP honors. Her junior year brought 16.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.2 steals per game, capped by Washington Gatorade Player of the Year and AP Class 4A Player of the Year recognition.
As a senior, Hull elevated her game to 20.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 steals, and 2.1 assists per game, leading Central Valley to a 29–0 record and a second Class 4A state title. She also delivered a 26-point, 10-rebound performance to win the GEICO Nationals championship, capping her career as Central Valley’s all-time leading scorer and as a five-star ESPN recruit ranked No. 14 nationally in the 2018 class.
Path to Basketball
Hull’s competitive foundation sharpened through AAU play with the Spokane Stars, where she and Lacie consistently faced elite national competition. On October 23, 2016, the twins committed to Stanford University, choosing the Cardinal over offers from Gonzaga, Washington, Washington State, Oregon, and Arizona State. Hull was drawn to Stanford’s engineering and business programs, and a September home visit from head coach Tara VanDerveer helped seal her decision.
Her transition to college basketball began on November 7, 2018, when Hull made her Stanford debut with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and four steals in a 71–43 win over UC Davis, becoming the first freshman in program history to record a double-double in her first game. After missing nine games with a left foot injury, she returned to form and helped Stanford win the Pac-12 Tournament, earning Pac-12 All-Freshman honorable mention.
Hull became a full-time starter as a sophomore and quickly proved her offensive ceiling, scoring a season-high 29 points in a 76–68 overtime win over Colorado on January 24, 2020. She averaged 13.6 points, six rebounds, and 2.1 assists that season, earning her first All-Pac-12 and Pac-12 All-Defensive selections and establishing herself as one of the conference’s most complete two-way players.
