About Makenzie

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My style is built around communication, hustle, and consistency. I bring energy on defense, read the game well, and work to make plays that help my team stay in rhythm.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am competitive, coachable, and detail-oriented. I take feedback seriously, stay calm under pressure, and focus on doing my job consistently to help my team succeed.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Yes. I am an active and proud team member of Jacksonville Skyline Volleyball, competing at the travel level.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Through volleyball, I have developed strong teamwork, communication, accountability, and coachability. I understand the importance of preparation, effort, and supporting my teammates on and off the court.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes. Competing at a high level has challenged me to adapt, accept feedback, and continue improving even when results are not immediate. These challenges have strengthened my work ethic and mindset.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that values both academics and athletics, with a competitive volleyball program, strong team culture, and coaches who emphasize development, accountability, and balance.

Makenzie stood out defensively with quick reactions and strong hustle across multiple drills and live reps. She demonstrated solid ball control, particularly when handling tougher serves, and showed the ability to extend rallies with effort-based plays. Her vertical and athletic movement were notable in defensive coverage situations, and she played with visible confidence. Overall, Makenzie showed consistency and competitiveness that translated well in an exposure setting. ~ Samantha Fitzgerald @BenchtoBeast
