Wilkinson does a great job controlling the net and only improved with it during club season playing with and against solid competition. Her club and high school teams try hard to take advantage of her athleticism on both sides of the net. Wilkinson can hit balls over and around blockers with her vertical jump.

The 6’0 middle is a high potential athlete with good athleticism and physicality on both sides of the ball. She has great length and when on time offensively she can contact high to challenge blockers well at the peak of her jump. She has a big future ahead of her being just a 2029 prospect.

Wilkinson (pictured) has turned into a solid, aggressive player at the net. The sky is the limit for Wilkinson. Wilkinson takes short sets at the net and pounds them to the back row and the lines. It is hard for defenders to tell where balls are going because she makes great mid-air adjustments. Wilkinson also forms solid double blocks and uses her athleticism well to record solo denials. Wilkinson had 111 kills and led the Raiders with 33 assisted and 22 solo blocks, helping Ryle to a 24-9 record, another 33rd District crown and a spot in the region semifinals.
