Rachel Settle of Ft Smith Jrs delivered a strong showing at the camp. The 2027 pin built on her solid Jr season at Southside with a great showing on the club circuit. Playing 6 rotations on a Freedom Division National title contender, Settle shows that a position switch from middle to six rotation outside can just be what a player needs.

The 5’9″ OH quietly built a strong resume over two varsity seasons with the Mavericks. Settle recorded 321 kills, 86 blocks, 80 digs and 188 serve receptions. Her junior year alone she produced 244 kills. She is primed for a strong senior season for the Mavericks.

At camp, her all-around skills were evident. Settle contributed in every phase of the game and brought a steady presence to the court.

Perhaps most importantly, her leadership consistently shows during competitive sessions. Teammates respond to her energy and communication, making her an important piece for all the teams she plays for.

She has the skill at the net of a middle, the quick arm and shot selection of an outside, the back row defense of a DS, and the leadership that teams dream of!

Settle is a strong outside hitter who brought a powerful and aggressive presence to the pin, consistently finding ways to score against established blocks. She combined strength with a high volleyball IQ, making smart attacking decisions while maintaining a physical edge. Her explosive transition and strong jumping ability enabled her to beat blockers to the point of contact, resulting in consistent offensive success throughout the weekend. She was a key factor in her team’s momentum, helping lead them to a 3-0 finish on day one and a spot in the silver bracket.
