Continue ReadingIt doesn’t matter what level you play at when you think about the fact that NCAA research shows that only four percent of high school volleyball players play in college. Texas is second to none when it comes to our players earning the right to play at the next level. The offers for our wonderful Texas players keep coming. We love to see the pictures and news of these players as they are achieving their dreams. We are proud to announce some news from the recruiting front. There are three more players who have just committed to college volleyball programs recently and we would like to share the news. These young ladies have been hard at work during the club and high school volleyball season. They also have been hard at work on the recruiting scene getting offers from schools and have made their college decisions. Help us in congratulating them on the amazing news.
Akire jones [2023] 6-0 Middle (HS: Hutto/Club: Austin Skyline/Verbal: Virginia Commonwealth University)
Akire is currently ranked as the 148th best overall prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Hutto High School and also plays club for Austin Skyline. Miss Jones is a very explosive player on both end of the ball. She has an immense amount of power in her entire frame and she uses it very well on the court. Her explosiveness can be seen on the offensive side as she drives super hard toward her setter for a quick set. The fireworks happen once she makes contact with the ball and the sound can be heard throughout the entire gym. Her attacking angles are so sharp around the block that the defense has a hard time making the adjustments to dig them. Miss Jones can be considered a shut down blocker because she takes up so much space along the net and also takes away tons of space from the attacker by her press over the net. We are proud to announce that she has decided to play college volleyball at Virginia Commonwealth University. Please help us congratulate her on achieving her dream of playing at the next level.
Jordan Eager Jordan Eager 5'5" | DS/L Clear Springs | 2023 State TX [2023] 5-5 Libero/Setter (HS: Clear Springs/Club: Houston Stellar/Verbal: Midland College)
Jordan is currently ranked as the 143rd best overall prospect in the 2023 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Clear Springs High School and club for Houston Stellar. Jordan is someone who we have always rooted for because of the person that she is. She has a fight inside of her that every young player should try to have. Although she may be a little undersized, she plays a lot bigger in person. She has one of the most beautiful back sets in the game and it shoots out of her hands super fast. This young lady has libero like skills and she can dig from any position and any angle at an elite level. At one point this season, she even hit front row a few times!!! Her smile is contagious and we love how she plays the game with tons of speed and fire. These skills will be very useful next season. We are proud to announce that she recently committed to playing volleyball at Midland College. Please help us congratulate her on achieving her dream of playing college volleyball.
MJ McCurdy MJ McCurdy 6'0" | OH Frisco Liberty | 2024 State TX [2024] 6-0 Outside (HS: Liberty/Club: Madfrog ‘ last=”]/Verbal: Texas State)
Mary Jane is currently ranked as the 64th best overall prospect in the state according to the 2024 Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays for Liberty High School and plays club for the famed Madfrog ‘ last=”] program. I wrote an article on her a while back and here is a refresher of what I stated, “There are outside hitters and then there are true point scorers. MJ can rack up kills in a hurry and hits the ball at a very high clip, meaning she is super efficient with her scoring. When I first came across this name that was rising up the kill charts a few years ago, it surprised me because I had not heard about her until that point. I learned who she was very quickly. While some players may shy away from the big moment at crucial times, MJ relishes in those moments for any team she is on. The bright lights are on and this kid is on the main stage doing her thing at a very high level.” MJ is a star and she finally found her home for the next four years. She is going to be what we like to call an immediate impact player at the next level. We are proud to announce that she has committed to playing volleyball at Texas State University. Please help us congratulate her on realizing her dream of playing at the next level.
