Continue ReadingThe first rankings for the 2025 class in Ohio are now posted. As this is a working list focused upon the youngest prospects we rank, this means the list will undoubtedly grow and rankings will shift as we evaluate and add more prospects and as athletes improve their skills and value. Here are the initial top setters among the 2025 Ohio rankings, which was challenging to determine given the quality of athleticism and skill among these athletes this early in their careers.
Ella Jackson

Jackson
5'7" | S
Gilmour Academy | 2025
State
OH
– Overall Ranking = #6
Jackson had a terrific freshman year experience guiding the Gilmour Academy offense to another state title in 2021. Although 5’6, she played a big role for an offense that had good depth as their attackers collectively averaged over 15 kills per set. She averaged just shy of 10 assists per set and just over eight digs per match. With good location and tempo from all around the court, Jackson has impressive court awareness and game I.Q.
Emsley Venard

Venard
6'0" | S
St. Ursula | 2025
State
OH
– Overall Ranking = #10
The 5’11 Venard has great tools and has shown consistent improvement in her skills and floor leadership. She is in line to eventually lead a consistently competitive St. Ursula (Cincinnati) program down the road and has been honing her skills with NKYVC during the club season, recently helping them qualify for the 15U open-level division for the upcoming USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championships. She is simple in her movement and contact and has great touch on the ball.
Larsen Terrill

Terrill
5'11" | S
Highland | 2025
State
OH
– Overall Ranking = #14
Terrill has good size as a setter at 5’11. This benefits her impact well to create range in various phases of the game and allow her to play big at the net defensively. Additionally, her relationships with her middles benefit also as she has good touch and location through quick options that help them with spacing and timing. She has good potential to be an elite setter as she progresses through her prep career.
Olivia Weiseman
Olivia
Weiseman
5'10" | S
Monroe | 2025
State
OH
– Overall Ranking = #23
Weiseman’s display of athleticism around the court is evident in every contact. She has good quickness and footwork that is among the best in pursuit of the second touch and can consistently locate a good variety of tempo when in the pocket and on the move. She is fun to watch and has the foundation to emerge as one of the state’s best going forward.
