Expert Analysis
Mike Bryant | Prep Dig Scout
Jones (*pictured) is part of a key trio of non-seniors that helped Newark Catholic win the DVI Ohio state title in 2025 through an undefeated season. She averaged nearly two kills per set on an impressive .342 efficiency and 42% kill rate. She is athletic and uses her 5’10 frame well on both sides of the ball. Her ability to score through a variety of patterns makes her tough to track and defend, in addition to the great arm work she has in the air to develop torque and range. This consistency and effort landed her in the 2028 top 25 for this rankings cycle coming off the high school season and it will be fun to see what she brings to her Mintonette m.62 squad this club cycle.
