Josalyn Samuels Josalyn Samuels Josalyn Samuels 6'0" | S/RS Harrisburg | 2028 State SD | Setter | Class of 2028
South Dakota Prep Dig No. 1 Overall • No. 1 Setter

Josalyn Samuels Josalyn Samuels Josalyn Samuels 6'0" | S/RS Harrisburg | 2028 State SD is the heartbeat of the 2028 class in South Dakota—and the benchmark everyone else is chasing. As the No. 1 overall prospect and No. 1 setter in the state, she already plays the game at a level that feels years ahead of her age. Every match she touches is controlled by her rhythm, her vision, and her command of the court.

Samuels doesn’t just distribute the ball—she engineers offense. Her footwork is precise, allowing her to stay square and balanced under pressure. Her release is clean and repeatable, keeping tempo consistent across every route. Middles stay engaged because she rewards them. Pins stay aggressive because they trust her location. In system or out of system, the ball arrives on time and on target. She turns chaos into order.

Her résumé is national in scope. MaxPreps National Freshman of the Year. Sophomore All-American. Three-time Class AA state champion. Multiple USA Volleyball NTDP selections and involvement with the Girls U19 National Team program. Nearly 3,000 career assists before finishing her sophomore season. Those accolades aren’t inflated—they’re a reflection of how early and how completely she has taken ownership of the game.

What separates Josalyn even further is her volleyball IQ. She reads blockers before they move. She manipulates defenses with her eyes. She understands match flow and adjusts in real time. In tight sets, she becomes the calm. Teammates breathe easier because she’s in control. Opponents feel pressure because she never looks rattled.

Her work ethic fuels it all. Every rep is intentional. Every touch carries purpose. She trains like the standard is higher—because for her, it is.

Josalyn Samuels Josalyn Samuels Josalyn Samuels 6'0" | S/RS Harrisburg | 2028 State SD doesn’t just run an offense. She dictates the match.

And the ceiling? It’s nowhere in sight. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
