Early Life and Background
Lexie Lauren Hull was born on September 13, 1999, and grew up in Liberty Lake, Washington, a suburb of Spokane. She is the daughter of Jaime and Jason Hull and has an identical twin sister, Lacie, who also played basketball. From third through eighth grade, Hull was coached by her father and his friend, Ron Hawkins, on the Lady Cubs Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) program, where she developed her defensive foundation and competitive edge by playing against her sister.
Her father, Jason Hull, played college basketball at Whitworth University and earned NCAA Division III All-America honors, while her grandfather, John, played college basketball at Western Washington. That family background gave Hull an early understanding of the game and a strong work ethic. She also competed in varsity volleyball for one year and ran track for four years at Central Valley, making the all-conference team and placing ninth at the state championships as a senior.
Path to Basketball
Hull attended Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley, Washington, from 2014 to 2018, where she became one of the most decorated players in program history. As a freshman, she averaged 13.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, and as a sophomore, she lifted Central Valley to the Class 4A state title with 18.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, earning tournament most valuable player (MVP) honors. She was also named Associated Press (AP) Class 4A Player of the Year that season.
As a junior, Hull averaged 16.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.2 steals per game, collecting Washington Gatorade Player of the Year, AP Class 4A Player of the Year, and Greater Spokane League MVP awards. In her senior year, she averaged 20.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 steals, and 2.1 assists, leading Central Valley to a 29–0 record and another Class 4A state title. She also led her team to the GEICO Nationals championship, posting 26 points and 10 rebounds in the final, and finished as Central Valley’s all-time leading scorer.
Rated as a five-star recruit and the number 14 player in the 2018 class by ESPN, Hull committed to Stanford on October 23, 2016, alongside her twin sister. She chose the Cardinal over Gonzaga, Washington, Washington State, Oregon, and Arizona State, drawn by Stanford’s engineering and business programs and a recruiting visit from head coach Tara VanDerveer.
