Jael Smith Jael Smith 6'3" | MB Mater Dei | 2029 CA , a 6’3” freshman middle blocker for Mater Dei High School, is already proving to be a dominant presence at the net. Through 51 sets, she has recorded 48 total blocks, including 8 solo and 40 block assists, averaging 0.9 blocks per set. Her size and timing allow her to control the middle, shutting down opposing hitters and forcing adjustments in offensive schemes. Smith’s production as a ninth grader highlights both her defensive instincts and her ability to convert length and athleticism into consistent results.

What sets Smith apart is her upside paired with early impact. She is training in a high-level environment that complements her development at Mater Dei, one of California’s premier programs. Her combination of height, mobility, and discipline makes her a rare freshman capable of influencing matches against top-tier competition. She will be competing for SC Rockstar 15s. For college coaches, Smith represents a high-ceiling middle who can anchor a defense, elevate her team’s blocking game, and grow into a reliable offensive weapon as her career progresses.
