2026 Rankings: 16th-20th

The purpose of our rankings is to expose the maximum number of athletes pursuing the recruiting process to the chance to play at the next level. The most important guideline for our Scouts is that the rankings are a projection of someone's future collegiate potential, not a reflection of their current ability.   Important things to consider; Skill needed at that position, IQ, Toughness, Size, Athleticism, and Intangibles such as body language and energy. Remember, all of our scouts place slightly different levels of value on each category. If a player is more athletic, taller, or larger, that will compensate for current skill deficiencies. There's the adage that you cannot teach size and skill. If you go down the different levels of college athletics, the difference is very rarely in skill level. The biggest gaps are in size, explosiveness, and athleticism.    We have spent countless hours in and outside the gym scouting and discussing these players. Congrats to the top 15 players in our 2026 Oklahoma recruiting class.    Ranked #16 in Oklahoma, [player_tooltip player_id='286286' first='Kelsi' last='Wilson'] is no longer a rising star in the 2026 class, but an established, mature, and accomplished threat. Her dynamic offensive abilities allow her to be a consistent force at the net, delivering heavy swings that challenge her opponents. Kelsi's ability to read the game and adjust her approach mid-play makes her a scoring option in any situation, pass, or set. Known for her work ethic and competitive mindset, she pushes herself and her team to perform at the highest level. Kelsi's combination of athleticism, adjustability, and court awareness makes her one of the most exciting hitters in Oklahoma. Earning her spot on the 2026 Top 20 list, Kelsi will be a force to any collegiate team she so chooses.     Ranked #17 in Oklahoma, outside hitter [player_tooltip player_id='505685' first='Miley' last='Myers'] is a dynamic force on the left side of the court. Known for her whip-like arm, she delivers fast-low attacks with power making her a constant offensive threat. Her rapid approach allows her to stay in sync with her team's quick tempo, delivering hits that challenge opposing defenses and force them out of system. Miley shines as she seamlessly transitions between offense and defense. Her quick decision-making and court awareness make her a weapon, capable of adjusting her play to exploit defensive weaknesses. With relentless drive and a commitment to improving, Miley has earned the right to Top 20 in Oklahoma and we can't wait to see how she continues to grow beyond high school and club volleyball.     Ranked #18 in the state, [player_tooltip player_id='284931' first='Karis' last='Abiseid'] is an energetic and commanding libero who takes full control of the court. Karis led her high school team to the 6A state championship last year, showing off her ability to perform in high-pressure situations. She is excellent at covering her hitters and keeps plays alive longer than most, making her a valuable defensive asset. Karis' quickness allows her to cover a vast portion of the court, often chasing down balls and saving potential kills. Her relentless pursuit ensures that the ball stays in play, keeping her team engaged in the rally. In addition to her defensive prowess, Karis also contributes offensively with her fast, flat jump float serve, which frequently catches opponents off guard.

Ranked #19 in the state, [player_tooltip player_id='284932' first='Tyra' last='McKinnie'] is a dominant force at the net, known for her dominant blocking skills. She keeps her hands high and ready, allowing her to quickly press over the net and disrupt any attack. Her quick reflexes and almost perfect timing make it difficult for opponents to get past her. Tyra's height and athleticism make her stand out during hitting lines, where her powerful attacks catch attention. But her impact doesn't stop with her offense. She's just as effective when blocking, whether it's a perfectly timed press or disrupting the play when a block isn't available. When her team is passing well, Tyra becomes an even greater force, contributing both offensively and defensively. Tyra is a stud who deserves her #19 spot!
