Deanna is a developing prospect who already shows a well-rounded game. She has a great swing, strong reach, and the ability to score from the back row. What separates her is her versatility. She’s comfortable on the right side and plays under control in serve receive and defense. She understands when to swing and when to tip, which is advanced for her class. —Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv

Some outside hitters bring offense. Others bring solutions. Deanna Ho Deanna Ho 5'8" | OH South | 2029 CA falls into the second category. The 2029 pin from TVC takes pride in being a true utility player, someone who can pass, dig, set, and still stay aggressive at the net. “I will hit the ball the majority of the time and will not free ball it unless I absolutely have no choice.” That mentality shows up in how she sees the game. If the outside is getting sealed, she is already talking with her setter about shifting tempo or moving the offense somewhere else. That kind of awareness keeps hitters on the court longer and keeps evaluators watching longer.

Her leadership may be just as recruitable as her skill set. Deanna described being down ten points and refusing to let the energy drop as team captain, continuing to communicate, encourage, and keep everyone engaged. She processes mistakes quickly, resets fast, and values programs built on loyalty, development, and shared investment. Competitive maturity, communication, and genuine team leadership travel at every level.
