Isabella Linden Isabella Linden 5'8" | DS/L Berkeley Prep | 2028 State FL , #16, OTVA 15 Randy – Defensive Specialist (DS)

Linden is the type of DS every team hopes to have—quick, explosive, and absolutely fearless. She plays with a confidence and command rarely seen at this age, often moving and communicating like a seasoned libero. Her footwork is sharp and efficient, allowing her to cover ground and get behind tough balls with control. She tracks the ball early and positions herself to intercept attacks with clean angles.

Whether fielding jump serves or reacting to off-speed attacks, her platform is steady and disciplined. In serve receive, she consistently produces two- and three-option passes, enabling the setter to stay in-system and the hitters to stay aggressive. On defense, she anticipates swings well and reacts with purpose, often getting touches that extend plays and frustrate opposing offenses. Her ability to keep the ball in front, move with intent, and maintain consistent communication makes her a crucial part of her team’s transition game. She’s gritty, and vocal, —always ready to reset the tone of a rally. ~Sophia Jeanpierre @prepdig_fl
