Jessica Florn Jessica Florn 5'8" | DS/L John Glenn | 2021 State MI , L John Glenn/Michigan Elite: Florn is another diverse talent, as she stands out for her play as a libero, but also earned All-Conference honors as an outside for John Glenn this past fall.

Ola Nowak Ola Nowak 5'8" | S Grandville | 2021 State MI , S/OH/DS Grandville/FaR Out: Nowak is another player that can play all over the floor and excel.
