Class of 2025 State Rankings
It makes us very proud to bring to you the first publishing of the State Rankings for the 2025 Class. This class has been proving themselves in their first year to compete at the varsity level in high school and moving to a much larger stage in the club season. We have been scouring the entire state of Texas for the best volleyball players. In the past, we have always posted the inaugural publishing of a class with the top 50 players. This class is so special that we have published the top 70 players. I also have about 25 players on my watch list that will potentially be added in a few months at our next update. We usually update the rankings with additions/subtractions and movement up/down the list 3-4 times per year. Please congratulate every player on this list as they have earned it with all of their hard work on and off the court.

I often get asked what goes into the ranking process. Well here is how I am going about it. I stay connected to the volleyball scene as much as I can. We speak to hundreds of club and high school coaches, club directors, and college coaches across the entire state to gather as much information as possible on each athlete. We study tournaments entered and tournament finishes. We study high schools, preseason lists, and awards given to athletes from the state of Texas high school systems, coaches associations and club awards. We have been watching a lot of awesome club volleyball tournaments in person and also have been watching hours of game footage and highlight reels as possible. The more film you have online, the better the research and analyzing of skills I can do to make the ranking as accurate as I can. You are more than welcome to tag us on social media or send us emails with updates to your film. It is also a great idea to keep updating it so that you can keep getting more exposure to college coaches. They are watching too.
The other question I get often from parents and players is “Is it 100 accurate?” The short answer is no. However, we are putting a lot of hours and hard work into trying to get it as accurate as we can. With over 23 years of analyzing players and college recruiting, it is still a difficult task to get it perfect. The fact that we must take multiple things into consideration and understanding that everyone is entitled to their opinion, has allowed me to be content with how we are going about it. While we know that it is not an exact science, we are very confident in the hard work that is going into analyzing each player and the overall ranking process.
We are still always looking for more players in each grad class. Please do not hesitate to send me some information on any player that you think deserves to be nominated as a potential State Ranked player. You can reach me by email, by Twitter (@CoachMikeDZ) or Facebook.
