is naturally going to grab attention at the net. However, it is the way she is beginning to use that height that has us excited. May can generate serious power through her swing and already looks comfortable attacking aggressively from the middle.
There is still a lot of volleyball ahead of her, which makes her development especially interesting. As her timing and footwork continue to catch up with her physical tools, that attack could become even more difficult to defend.
May has plenty of room to grow, but the pieces are already there. This is a 2030 middle we will be watching closely.

has already stepped into high school volleyball and made her presence known. We featured her in No Fly Zone: Top Blockers, where her potential immediately stood out.
At 6-foot-3, May brings serious length to the net. More importantly, she is adjusting to the pace of high school volleyball very well. She has already shown an ability to move and stay involved around the net. Her willingness to learn has also caught our attention. That coachability matters as she continues developing her timing and confidence. And honestly, this is just the beginning for May.

might be one of the most impressive freshmen to watch this fall, leading Heritage with a massive 57 blocks and competing for one of the top spots in the state. May brings a great combination of size and athleticism to the front row, and the work she put in during the offseason is clearly paying off. She thrives in a fast tempo offense, getting up quickly in transition and doing a great job closing out to the pins. Defensively, her court awareness and ability to read opposing attackers consistently put her in the right position to slow down the ball. May’s production as a freshman makes her an exciting player to continue watching.

Now for the young buck!
May is a freshman and is already making an impact at the net. At 6’3″, she brings serious length and plenty of potential. More importantly, she is adjusting to high school volleyball impressively well. May already has 33 blocks this season. That’s an exciting start for a player just beginning her high school career.
Additionally, she is showing plenty of willingness to learn. Her ability to move and stay involved at the net says a lot about her coachability. As she continues getting comfortable with the speed of high school volleyball, her timing and confidence should only continue to develop.
And that’s the fun part- she’s just getting started!

May is already turning heads at 6’3″ as a member of the Class of 2030. However, it is not just her height that makes her interesting. She has a heavy arm and can attack with the kind of power that is hard to find at such a young age. She is already showing the makings of a strong middle and attacks with confidence beyond her years. There is still plenty of room for her to grow into that power, and once everything continues to click, opposing defenses are going to have a lot to deal with.
