– OH | Dublin Scioto | 2nd Team
The 6’2 middle is Prep Dig Ohio’s top-ranked prospect in this class. She proved herself worthy of the recognition this fall season given her production and in helping lead her team to a 22-5 overall record and a visit to the regional round of the postseason. She averaged 4.8 kills per set with over 400 kills on the season, while hitting .327. She gets up off the floor well and creates a high contact point that is difficult to defend. Her skills are versatile as well as she can also score at the pins. Defensively, she had 67 blocks for the season. She is a big-time prospect and it will be fun to watch her compete and continue her development as the club season gets started in the coming weeks.
