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.
Macie Mathis Macie Mathis 5'11" | OH Smithson Valley | 2024 State TX [2024] 5-11 Outside (HS: Smithson Valley/Club: Alamo/Verbal: Texas Tech University)
Macie is currently ranked as the 108th best overall prospect in the 2024 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays for Smithson Valley High School and also for the Alamo volleyball club. Miss Mathis is very well known to us at Prep Dig as we have been part of her journey for the past three years. I have kept up with her journey very closely and she has blossomed quite nicely in her position. Starting out at a smaller club when she was younger, she easily transitioned to a large club playing at the highest level possible. Her skill set has improved drastically over the last three years helping her become a very valuable member of her high school varsity squad and her club squad. While she excels in the front row, her six rotation abilities are also seen in the back row as well. She can play defense with the best of them and can terminate the ball from any location on the court. I love how she has such a high motor that just doesn’t quit. We are extremely proud to announce that she has decided to play volleyball at Texas Tech University. Please help us congratulate her on achieving her dream of playing at the next level.
Sophia Thornburg Sophia Thornburg 6'3" | OH Ursuline Academy | 2025 State TX [2025] 6-2 Outside (HS: Ursuline Academy/Club: Dallas Skyline/Verbal: Notre Dame University)
Sophia is currently ranked as the 38th best overall prospect in the 2025 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings. She plays volleyball at Ursuline Academy of Dallas and club for the Dallas Skyline volleyball program. Miss Thornburg is a stud at attacking the ball and we have covered her since she blasted onto the scene as a freshman. Sophia can play any pin position and has a cannon that can throttle the ball with extreme authority. She is the type of player that is going to get her kills no mater what and you cannot stop her…you can only hope to slow her down. Defensively she can cover so much ground in middle back and plays a true thirty feet sideline to sideline. While in the front row, you have an elite blocker who can shut down anyone. We are proud to announce that she recently committed to playing volleyball at the University of Notre Dame. Please help us congratulate her on achieving her dream of playing college volleyball.
Madison Lee Madison Lee 5'7" | S Harlan | 2024 TX [2024] 5-7 Setter (HS: Harlan/Club: SA Impact/Verbal: Mid-America Christian University)
Madison is currently an unranked prospect in the state according to the 2024 Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but is on our official watch list. She plays for Harlan High School and plays club for the San Antonio Impact volleyball program. Miss Lee is a very talented disher of the rock who spreads the ball out very evenly amongst her attackers. I like that she truly understands those spread principles and it will come in handy as she transitions over to the high-level collegiate game. She has helped her club team qualify for USA nationals over the past few years and her contributions are very well noted by scouts. She uses her jump sets very nicely to keep the middle honest and that creates some solid one on ones for her attackers. We are proud to announce that she has committed to playing volleyball at Mid-America Christian University. Please help us congratulate her on realizing her dream of playing at the next level.
