Turner is one to keep an eye on as she continues to grow her impact on the left side of the floor. Her gains as a primary attacker for Mintonette’s 2nd 16U team are very noticeable. Her elevation is more fluid and she has developed increased arm speed that can generate some of the best pace among the 2026 Ohio pins. Turner does good work early in transition to get herself into rhythm to create advantages with her contact point and ability to terminate with good movement through the opponent’s court. One of the primary options for Pickerington North in 2023 at 3.1 k/s, her ceiling is high.

Dehrmann was a high volume point scorer for Revere in 2023 as the Minutemen finished 20-4 overall. She led the team at 4.4 k/s through a career best 322 total kills. She now has 536 total kills for her two-season varsity career. At 6’1, she has great length and reach on the left side that helped her earn 2nd team all-league honors. Expect her to return to the high school season more dynamic and with increased confidence and aggressiveness after making the switch to compete with AVC and through a more challenging national-level tournament schedule.

An Oak Glen product from West Virginia, Smith competes for Elite VBTC’s top 17U team and is a new addition to the 2026 rankings. In two years of varsity experience she has earned nearly 2,200 total assists over 215 sets played. She has a career average of 10.1 assists per frame as the Golden Bears have a record of 65-11-4. She shares time at the setting position for her current club team but can make a big impact with the three rotations she sees given her ability to locate well and utilize their personnel effectively, including one of the best arms in the Ohio 2025 class.

With 326 total assists in 2023, Daniels shared the setting role for NDCL while leading the team with the most conversions with her hitters. At 5’9, she has good touch on the ball with consistency to get her hitters into good situations in all phases of the offense. Daniels also shows good footwork to be able to sling it through both pins when off the net and out of the pocket. She currently competes for Maverick 16 Elite.
Kendall Dobbins
A 5’11 outside hitter, Dobbins can create a high contact point with her reach and extension at the top of her jump. With over 250 total kills for her young varsity career, she had a career best 181 kills in 2023 to finish among the top point scorers for Steele. She finished the season averaging 2.1 k/s. It will be fun to see her transition back to the high school season and see the gains she has made in her attacking skills and assertiveness.
