Class of 2027 Prospect Roulette For April

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>March was a busy month, so Prospect Roulette had to take a backseat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But, we're back in April with a chance to highlight some of the different prospects in the Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's how it works. We take the 231 prospects in our Class of 2027 and randomize the numbers. Whatever 10 numbers get landed on, we provide a little info on that player. Let's get things started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>50. [player_tooltip player_id='443001' first='Zoe' last='Ryan'], S/DS Flat Rock/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryan is a well-rounded player that shows tremendous leadership. A setter that can push a fast pace and get the best out of her hitters, Ryan is also a defensive standout that could wear the libero jersey for a lot of programs due to her communication skills and determination.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>197. [player_tooltip player_id='833201' first='Jenna' last='Middleton'], OH Kingsley/Vital Athletics</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Middleton was the driving force behind leading Kingsley to the Division 3 state championship in 2025. She showed the ability to put the ball away in a wide variety of ways while also being one of the most consistent defenders in D3. Middleton also had a great gas tank, being able to come through with big plays late in tight matches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>223. [player_tooltip player_id='809442' first='Zoey' last='Klunder'], DS/L GR Christian/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Klunder stands 5'3”, but she plays like a giant in the back row for her teams. She's very composed in her back-row play and able to take on big shots with relative ease. She keeps her arms in good position and is very accurate with her passes and serve receive. Look out for Klunder, a breakout star for the next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>163. [player_tooltip player_id='907227' first='Sophie' last='Perkins'], MB/OH North Farmington/High Performance</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perkins can play anywhere along the net and make an impact. She's got an aggressive last gear to her swing that puts some added emphasis on her attacks. Perkins has nice footwork that allows her to move around the net well and get open looks against the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>37. [player_tooltip player_id='442999' first='Olivia' last='Berishaj'], MB/OH Eisenhower/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A Hillsdale commit, Berishaj has some of the most powerful attacks in this Class. She times up her swings really well to contact the ball at a high point, while being able to drive through it and put some serious heat on the ball. Berishaj plays with good intensity and wants the ball coming her way in the big moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>70. [player_tooltip player_id='523865' first='Kate' last='Belt'], S/RS Valley Lutheran/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 5'10” setter that can also put the ball away if needed, Belt shows a well-rounded game that is getting better each month. She's got nice touch on her sets and mixes up her locations well to give her hitters a chance to unload on the ball. She's also an aggressive blocker and shows tremendous court vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>132. [player_tooltip player_id='523415' first='Peyton' last='Tarmnel'], MB/RS Marshall/MSF Flight</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 6'2” middle showed some impressive stretches of play during the fall. She's getting a better feel for tempo while mixing up her shot speeds. Tarmnel also can make a big impact with her blocking and shot deflection. There's still room for her to grow, but she's making good strides in her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. [player_tooltip player_id='467901' first='Mallory' last='Wandel'], Rockford/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wandel is a do-everything player for her teams. She's a tenacious competitor that is going to bring the heat at the net, and give her all to make every defensive play she can. The Michigan State commit has proven to be one of the most complete players in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>13. [player_tooltip player_id='442967' first='Addison' last='Stepp'], DS/L South Lyon East/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An Alabama commit, Stepp has shown she can hang with anyone in the country when it comes to playing defense. She can look quiet and unassuming, but her play speaks for itself. Stepp has some of the best serve receive you will find and she's constantly a step ahead of her opponents in being able to take on big attacks with consistency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>77. [player_tooltip player_id='443000' first='Samantha' last='Monroe'], MB/RS Marian/L2</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Monroe is a rangy hitter that can play anywhere along the net. She's got good power and good lift off the floor. Her instincts as to where to place the ball have improved, while she's also improved on her timing when it comes to blocking. There's good potential in where she can take her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
