Charlotte Vinson Charlotte Vinson 6'1" | OH Yorktown | 2025 State #21 Nation IN , 6-1 RS/S, Yorktown, Munciana
On one of the best 18s teams in the midwest (the Samurai), Charlotte, a sophomore, is THE right side. Realistically, she could run a 5-1 if you needed it. She’s our #1 recruit in the class for a reason; she does every volleyball skill at an elite level, has now played two different positions full-time in two separate club seasons, and does exactly that for her high school team. All of this includes her All-American status through AAU, plus her first-team all-state honors. This is a can’t miss, must-see recruit that is worth the price of admission.
Logan Bell Logan Bell 5'11" | OH Roncalli | 2025 State #24 Nation IN , 5-11 OH, Roncalli, Circle City
Logan is a six-rotation outside for one of the best 16s teams in the country. She leads with skill, smarts and a whole bunch of class. Highly competitive and always learning, she’s a very coachable sophomore that plays with more maturity than some seniors. She also has that all-state glow to her, and knows nothing but hard work and winning.
Taylor Cripe Taylor Cripe 5'10" | OH South Newton | 2025 State IN , 5-10 OH, South Newton, Boiler Juniors
A hyper athletic outside if there ever was one, the ball sounds different when Taylor hits. She destroys undisciplined blocks, keeps defenses honest with occasional off-shots, and is a full-go no-quit baller. Add to the fact that she’s from a smaller-than-average school, and she’s a well-hidden gem from the Lafayette area.
Addy Tindall Addy Tindall 6'3" | OH Homestead | 2025 State #20 Nation IN , 6-3 OH, Homestead, Team Pineapple
One of only a handful of Indiana kids on the NTDP, Addy is developing quite nicely into a six rotation outside hitter. Cut from a similar cloth as Lauren Harden Lauren Harden 6'3" | OH Hamilton Southeastern | 2024 State #36 Nation IN (Florida commit), Addy can hit with pace, with precision, and receives serve better at a younger age than Lauren. She’s still working on that defensive game of hers, but know this—she’s a no-doubt recruit oozing with talent, even IF she was only a three-rotation attacker.
Delaney Steers Delaney Steers 5'9" | OH Brownsburg | 2025 State IN , 5-9 OH, Evansville Central, Metro
With a long and athletic approach, Delaney maximizes her attack touch and hits every angle regularly. She is not quite in the height range of the girls listed above, but Miss Steers more than makes up for it in fire and competitiveness. She’s also a regular passer for Metro, making her the entire package.
Lindsey Mangelson Lindsey Mangelson 6'2" | OH Hamilton Southeastern | 2025 State IN , 6-2 OH, Hamilton Southeastern, Munciana Indy
A big and strong pin is what you get out of Lindsey. True to form, Miss Mangelson matured and improved so much from last school year to this, and turned her successful fall into a state championship. Her physicality is intimidating, as she hits with pace and attack height.
