Every ranking update cycle we see some movement from athletes who had tremendous seasons, whether it be high school, club, or both. There is no difference this year as we have players who earned all-state seasons and put up numbers worthy of big jumps in our rankings. Today we look at the players who made the biggest jumps to enter the top 50 of the class of 2025.   19. [player_tooltip player_id='540290' first='Janaya' last='Weitkemper'] - Battle - MB   From the middle position, Weitkemper had a big senior season taking her kills up to 4. 3 per set.

[player_tooltip player_id='244664' first='Ally' last='Fuchs'] - Incarnate Word - L   Fuchs didn't make a huge jump but moved up 11 slots to 27 after a highly productive final season for IWA. She recorded over 700 digs this fall. She is one of the most dependable liberos in the state.   40. [player_tooltip player_id='219770' first='Jaelynn' last='Tunley'] - Blue Springs South - OH   Tunley made an enormous jump, going from 149 to 40 after collecting just under 400 kills for Blue Springs South and capturing all-state honors. Her final season saw her eclipse the 1,000-kill mark. She will attend Eckerd College next fall.   43. [player_tooltip player_id='219780' first='Chloe' last='Judd'] - Nixa - MB   Another big leap in the rankings came from Judd. The Nixa middle now sits at 43, up from 163 in our previous rankings.

[player_tooltip player_id='219777' first='Ragin' last='Corwin'] - Blue Springs - OH   Another outside to make some noise this year is Blue Springs pin [player_tooltip player_id='219777' first='Ragin' last='Corwin'].
