The current top-5 for outsides in this class is a great set of players.
1. Gabby DiVita Gabby DiVita 6'1" | OH Grosse Pt. South | 2026 State MI : DiVita has shined on the biggest stages you can ask for. She’s come through with national championships and Triple Crown titles on the club scene as the primary hitter for Legacy. The 6’1” DiVita gets better and better and has the mindset to truly be elite.
2. Karis Chatfield Karis Chatfield 5'11" | OH Jenison | 2026 State MI : A real breakout star, Chatfield has a well-rounded game and brings a lot of competitive fire to the court. She’s got the power, the work ethic and the intangibles to set herself apart from most outsides.
3. Aubree Deshetsky Aubree Deshetsky 5'9" | OH North Branch | 2026 State MI : A young talent that plays like a craft veteran, Deshetsky doesn’t have a real weakness in her game. She can beat you with her smooth swing, with her technically sound defense, or with her challenging serve.
4. Liv Hosford Liv Hosford 5'11" | OH Rockford | 2026 State MI : Hosford has been a workhorse early in her prep career, but never shows signs of slowing down. She’s got the endurance to match the high volume of attacks she’s asked to take. She has the ability to win with power, but has added more weapons to her attack in the last year.
5. Quinn Yenshaw Quinn Yenshaw 6'0" | OH Traverse City St. Francis | 2026 State MI : A long and athletic outside that can take over Division 3 next fall, Yenshaw stays hungry in her efforts to become one of the great outsides in the state. She’s become more reliable defensively and has a keen eye for placing the ball on offense.
Others to keep an eye on
Jillian Ferrill Jillian Ferrill 6'1" | OH Lake Fenton | 2026 State MI : A 6’1” outside that can also play setter, Ferrill is a valuable asset for any team she’s on. She moves around the floor with a lot of ease and makes the difficult plays she’s able to make look quite effortless.
Madison Geer Madison Geer 5'9" | OH Frankenmuth | 2026 State MI : An outside that doesn’t know anything but playing with max effort, Geer is determined to outwork any opponent she’s up against. She’s got a fast and violent swing and loves to power through blockers.
Skylar Marteen Skylar Marteen 5'9" | OH Northville | 2026 State MI : As part of a deep offensive roster at Northville, Marteen earned more and more opportunities with her growth throughout the fall. She’s dialed in her swing and was one of the stronger right sides in D1.
Skyye Frailey Skyye Frailey 5'10" | OH Athens, Troy Michigan | 2026 State MI : Frailey has taken on a six-rotation position throughout the last year and plays like a veteran. She’s got great arm speed, but the improvement in her passing and serving has made her a real threat in all phases.
Evelyn Watts Evelyn Watts 5'8" | OH Berkley | 2026 MI : Watts is relied on heavily by her teams and she puts in the work to make sure she comes through for them. She’s able to finish regularly in the front and back row. As she continues to improve on her pace of play, she has the potential to be a breakout talent.
