Prep Dig’s second-ranked player overall and No. 1 DS/L in Iowa’s 2028 Class remains available to college coaches. Perhaps her recruitment has been slowed down by a sophomore prep season at MOC-Floyd Valley last fall that was wiped out by injury. That said, if you’re worried about recovery as a scout, don’t be. She proved at a high club level for Kairos Elite this season that the skill and quick-twitch athleticism present before the injury remain. McCarty covers a lot of ground with lateral quickness, long strides and great instincts. She tracks the ball well in serve-receive and knows where to be behind the block against the attack. While McCarty already produces against top competition, there’s potential for a lot more through development. She should have prime college options.

What an athlete.  Deviryn McCarty Deviryn McCarty 5'8" | DS/L/OH MOC-Floyd Valley | 2028 State #96 Nation IA has been the libero for Kairos out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota where they were consistently one of the top 15s teams in the country during the 2025 club season. Watching her live, she just moves so well on the court, she makes the libero position look effortless.  Kairos has produced a lot of high level liberos and she falls in line with all of the greats, with high level training and fundamentals.  She attended camps at UNI, Louisville, Kansas, and Mizzou while also getting an invite to NTDP.  For the high school season, she is a stellar outside hitter for MOC-Floyd Valley.  She suffered an injury during the high school season, but she’ll be back.  Her ability to control the first touch in multiple scenarios changes the game for her side of the net.

Deviryn McCaryt was in overdrive at USAV Nationals in Dallas, handling some of the top hitters in the country with composure and control. She moved fluidly in coverage, reading attacks early and staying balanced through every dig. Whether it was a heavy swing or a well-placed tip, Deviryn was there—consistently picking balls up and keeping plays alive. Her calm presence under pressure and relentless defensive effort make her a standout in the backcourt.
