Commitments are rolling in.
There have been about 15 or so commits in this class that we know of, and plenty more to come. Seeing athletes find their home to play at the collegiate level is super exciting, and there is still an incredible amount of top talent available in this class. So far, three athletes are committed to playing in the Big Ten: Madison Quest Madison Quest 6'3" | OH DSHA | 2025 State #13 Nation WI to UW-Madison, Gabriella Pitcel Gabriella Pitcel 6'1" | MB Mukwonago | 2025 State #42 Nation WI to Illinois, and Olivia Durst Olivia Durst 5'9" | DS/L DSHA | 2025 State #140 Nation WI to Michigan State. Two athletes, Alexa Hernandez Alexa Hernandez 5'7" | S Green Bay Southwest | 2025 State WI and Alexis Gardner Alexis Gardner 5'7" | DS/L Mukwonago | 2025 State WI , will be teammates at UW-Green Bay.
Some top prospects still looking to commit include talented setters Billie Reiter Billie Reiter 5'11" | S Greendale | 2025 State WI , Madison Marx Madison Marx 5'7" | S Franklin | 2025 State WI , and Madison Tripp Madison Tripp 5'9" | S Kaukauna | 2025 State WI . All have the potential to be huge assets at the collegiate level. Some of the top pins in the class are also likely deep into the recruiting process, including Eva Finnessy Eva Finnessy 5'11" | OH Sussex-Hamilton | 2025 State WI , Hailey Goebel Hailey Goebel 6'0" | RS St. Thomas More | 2025 State WI , Madison Daley Madison Daley 5'11" | RS Xavier | 2025 State WI , and Campbell Onell Campbell Onell 5'10" | RS Luxemburg-Casco | 2025 State WI .
The talent runs deep in this class in every position, and this club season will be huge for all athletes in this class as they compete at the highest possible level.
The Stock Risers are Impressive.
There was a ridiculous number of stock risers in this update. Between the high school season, our Top 250 Expos, and the club season starting, there were a lot of athletes that we saw improve at a rapid rate. Many took on leadership roles on their high school teams or were athletes who caught our eye in numerous settings. In all, there were nearly 40 athletes whose rank improved with this update. Some notable stock risers include middle blockers Brooke Aslakson Brooke Aslakson 6'0" | MB Sussex Hamilton | 2025 State WI , who broke into the top 25, and Chloe Parker Chloe Parker 6'2" | MB Bay Port | 2025 State WI , who jumped 15 spots.
Please remember: We do not typically move athletes down; if their rank drops, it is likely that someone else simply improves over them. Additionally, our rankings are always fluid, and we continue to update our notes year-round to be as accurate as possible.
We also added about 12 athletes to the ranking from the previous Watchlist, and six athletes who recently exploded onto our radar were added to the ranking. UW-Milwaukee commit Ella Schuetz Ella Schuetz 6'1" | OH Lakeside Lutheran | 2025 State WI , Viterbo commit Makena Ihle Makena Ihle 6'0" | RS West Salem | 2025 State WI , and 2nd Team All-State (D2) and State Runner-Up pin hitter Julia Ackley Julia Ackley OH McFarland | 2025 State WI are all notable names who made the ranking for the first time. Twelve new athletes were added to our Watchlist with this update.
There Were Numerous Club Changes.
While I am sure we did not catch all of the club changes, some athletes made big moves in this class. Setter Grace Borys Grace Borys 5'8" | S Notre Dame | 2025 State WI is playing for Sting 17 Black this season. This 17 Black team has several new names to the team including breakout libero Aria Wessel Aria Wessel DS/L Living Word Lutheran | 2025 State WI and middle hitter Megan Leedle Megan Leedle 5'10" | MB Germantown | 2025 State WI . Sting 17 White also has several new middles, including Brooklyn Grisolono Brooklyn Grisolono 5'8" | OH Kewaskum | 2025 State WI and Amelia Werner Amelia Werner MB Grafton | 2025 State WI . Pin hitters Sade Partlow Sade Partlow 5'9" | OH Wisconsin Dells | 2025 State WI and Ari Partlow Ari Partlow 5'9" | RS Wisconsin Dells | 2025 State WI are headed to Madtown Juniors . Cali Eastling Cali Eastling 5'8" | OH Tri-County | 2025 State WI and Morgan Stewart Morgan Stewart 6'1" | OH Green Bay Southwest | 2025 State WI both made the move to FC Elite .
If your profile does not have your correct club listed, you can change it yourself! Especially as the club season starts, it is important to have accurate information so we can watch your teams at tournaments.
This Club Season is Going to be Awesome.
I cannot wait to get the club season started! This class has so much to offer the volleyball world, and it will be awesome to see them back on the court at club tournaments.
