Continue ReadingThe State Rankings update is here!!! We have added quite a few new players in this update and tons have made some serious moves bettering their stock. We have been watching the 2025 class very closely throughout the entire high school and new club season. A lot of the analysis has come from watching these players in person and also by watching the amazing footage that has been uploaded to everyone’s recruiting profiles. We have been talking to a lot of coaches across the country and this class is littered with college prospects. The following players showed us all that they deserved to be listed in the rankings due to their individual performances.
Audrey Nuckols Audrey Nuckols 6'2" | OH Mayfield Senior | 2025 State CA [2025] 6-2 Outside (HS: Mayfield Senior/Club: SG Elite/Verbal: Auburn)
Please officially welcome Miss Nuckols to the State Rankings. She is currently ranked as the 63rd best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. She plays at Mayfield Senior High School and for the San Gabriel Elite volleyball club program. Audrey is a fantastic left side attacker who can play all six rotations at a high level. The Auburn commit is a high skilled scorer from every location on the court. As an attacker, she has a unique ability to get completely on top of the ball driving it down to the floor near the attack like on the opposing side. Her arm acts like a hammer as she pounds out kill after kill. It doesn’t matter which pin she is on during serve receive as the final result remains the same, she will kill the ball. One of the best aspects of her attacking is her ability to keep her arm very high at the point of contact with the ball. This makes it very difficult for any blocker to time her well and usually results in a scoring opportunity. We are very proud to have her listed on our prestigious State Rankings list. Please help us congratulate her on her achievement of being listed amongst the great players of this state.
Emery Tubbs Emery Tubbs 6'1" | MB Santiago Corona | 2025 State CA [2025] 6-1 Middle (HS: Santiago/Club: Forza1 North/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please officially welcome Miss Tubbs to the State Rankings. She is currently ranked as the 64th best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. She plays at Santiago High School and for the Forza1 North volleyball club program. The two sport star also shines on the basketball court for her high school. In her third year on varsity this past season, her role intensified greatly and she became a focal point of the team’s offense eclipsing 157 kills on a super impressive .397 hitting percentage. This kill total is more than she amassed in her freshman and sophomore campaigns combined. One aspect that stands out about her play is how she times the pass and set for quicks. You can tell that she has worked hard at many reps to make sure that her and her setter are on the same page with when to start her approach. The amazing timing really helps her to beat the block. In those rare times when the block is set up on her, I also love the fact that she is able to turn on the ball and hit around it to score. Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings.
Leila Ballard Leila Ballard 5'10" | OH Saugus | 2025 State CA [2025] 5-10 Outside (HS: Saugus/Verbal: Uncommitted)
Please officially welcome Miss Ballard to the State Rankings. She is currently ranked as the 65th best overall player according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. She stars on the volleyball court at Saugus High School. From her sophomore season to her latest junior year, she almost doubled her kill total, which is super impressive. That kind of production increase has been noticed by us as she was one of the We are happy to have her listed amongst Cali’s best players. Her arm swing can be best described as extremely violent. There is one moment before she makes contact with the ball that is almost calm and then an explosion occurs that is beautiful to watch. One trick that she employs that helps her score at a high clip is when she turns on the ball in mid air to hit line. The best outside hitters can be so deceptive with this that the block will read their shoulders and set up on the cross court attack. Miss Ballard does such a great job of facing cross-court until the very last second so that she can turn on it at the last second and throttle the line. It works almost every single time for her. We will be watching her very closely for the foreseeable future. Please help us congratulate her on earning a spot in our prestigious State Rankings.
