With a total of 54 prospects in the class at the Expo, there’s a lot of analysis to get through.
Here’s our fourth and final part of the 2025 player evaluations.
Jonae Swift, MH Cass Tech/Legacy
Swift didn’t have the same quickness as other middles, but she was very attentive and held her ground. When plays came in her direction, she found a way to make them. She was persistent and had the drive to win the 50-50 balls at the net. She could deliver a powerful swing offensively and timed out her blocks well.
Brielle Thomas Brielle Thomas 5'9" | OH Walled Lake Central | 2025 MI , OH Walled Lake Central/Force
Thomas stands 5’7”, but her athleticism and control in the air makes her a successful hitter. She had an impressive leap and seemed to hang in the air, allowing her to make some great out-of-system swings. Thomas showed a lot of quickness and had good reaction time defensively.
Amanda Vushaj Amanda Vushaj 5'11" | OH Regina | 2025 State MI , OH Regina/Michigan Elite
Vushaj has been showing improvement each year as she’s gotten more opportunities. A 6-foot outside with a good knack for defensive play, Vushaj is coming into her own offensively. She’s got the length swing speed to be a dominant hitter. As she continues to develop new shots and work on her angles, she can become a complete player.
Kayla Walega Kayla Walega 5'4" | DS/L Rochester | 2025 MI , DS/L Rochester/Legacy
Walega has a little different form and style, but she makes it work for her. She is able to pass well at some complicated angles. Her arms show little resistance when taking on a big spike or fast serve. Walega is able to cover a lot of ground in the back row without having to move much.
Skyler Wayne Skyler Wayne 5'2" | DS/L North Farmington | 2025 MI , DS/L North Farmington/Force
Wayne was a smooth and calm defender. She looked each ball into her arms and held form well. Wayne was confident in holding her ground in the back row and making sure she got to every ball that came her way. Even when not making a play, Wayne never let it get to her and made the next dig.
Sidney White Sidney White 5'10" | OH Saline | 2025 State MI , RS Saline/L2
White showed a lot of good instincts when it came to her blocking, but she also had a noticeable swing at the net as well as an aggressive serve, and promising defensive play in the back. She’s clearly putting the pieces together for a complete game and looks very comfortable wherever she is on the court.
Kendall Williams Kendall Williams 6'1" | MB Grand Blanc | 2025 State MI , MH Grand Blanc/Michigan Elite
Williams is a 6-foot middle that showed a good finishing rate and a lot of velocity on her attacks. She was confident enough to be a leader on the floor as well, helping direct her setters and the offense. Williams had good reads on the opposing attacks and blocks and finished plays regularly with her swing and block.
Kennedy Williams Kennedy Williams 5'11" | MB Farmington | 2025 State MI , MH Farmington/Michigan Elite
Williams started a little slow, but you saw her growth as a player as the Expo went on. Her aggressiveness kicked up and her confidence started to show. When she wasn’t over-thinking and letting the plays come to her, she looked like a natural in the middle and can be a game-changing player.
Sophia Worobkevich Sophia Worobkevich 5'9" | OH Rochester Adams | 2025 MI , OH Rochester Adams/Michigan Elite
Worobkevich was a hustle player that consistently got the most out of her swings. Working with a lot of different setters and challenges, she always seemed to find a way to get good contact and avoid attack errors. Worobkevich’s arm never tired either. She approached each swing with the same energy and effort throughout the Expo.
Abigail Wutka Abigail Wutka 5'11" | OH Macomb Dakota | 2025 State MI , OH Dakota/Michigan Elite
Wutka is a player that comes off a little shy on the court, but she has all the reason to be confident. There’s a lot of natural talent that she shows. She’s got power, she’s got accuracy, and she’s got explosiveness off the floor. Wutka has the right to demand the ball and know she can finish a point.
Angelina Yonan Angelina Yonan 5'6" Dakota | 2025 MI , S Dakota/Michigan Elite
Yonan is a little stick of dynamite on the floor. At 5’6” she can look a little unassuming, but when she steps on the court she is a very explosive setter. She’s got the ball control and quickness to make some eye-catching sets and scramble really well defensively.
Sofia Zelenak, S St. Frances/Michigan Elite
Zelenak had a lot of different sets in her arsenal. She was able to attack some angles and get the ball to hitters in ways I didn’t see a lot of other setters capable of doing. Zelenak used a lot of creativity for the position and had the confidence to utilize it.
Carly Zibell Carly Zibell 5'10" | RS Lake Orion | 2025 State MI , RS Lake Orion/High Performance
Zibell was able to attack well across the court and play some tough locations consistently. She’s also able to get good speed on her out-of-system swings. Zibell is patient on the floor and doesn’t rush her swing, but also stays active defensively when the ball isn’t coming her way on offense.
