I watched her play and she is impressive. Puts down and turns that hand wrist down for kills. I was impressed with her kills and swings when set off of the net and even out the back row. She had good accuracy with velocity on those swings. Hurts you with power and smart shots to the corners or straight down on you if no block. Impressive!

Lexie Grevengoed Lexie Grevengoed 5'11" | OH/RS Joliet West | 2028 State IL would be the top overall player in this group.  She is coming off a big club season playing for Adversity with her 16s team advancing to USAV 16 Open Nationals.  She is currently continuing a hot streak at Joliet West High School.  She has posted camp visits at Valpo, Loyola, De Paul, Clemson, and Iowa State.  Grevengoed is a flyer on the outside, she makes something look really difficult look effortless.  She is able to serve receive, pass, and mix in a variety of shots along with power.

One of the state’s best uncommitted prospects, playing like she has something to prove. Lexie is a terror for every defense matched up against her on any given day. Athletic, smart, versatile, and a fierce competitor. This season has been no different, maybe a little bit better. Stats that look like she’s ready to take over, 164 kills, 40 percent hitting, 11 aces, and 58 digs at the moment and counting. 

The Joliest West prep is the top available player in the Class of 2028 for Illinois.  She had a breakout year for her high school and club team with Adversity 16 Adidas.  They will be in the Open Division at Indy competing among the top teams in the country.  Grevengoed is a high flyer who is able to see the court extremely well.  She is able to take what the defense gives her, scoring at a high rate.

Lexie Grevengoed is a complete outside with a well-rounded impact across rotations. Her approach is efficient and controlled, and she does a strong job creating space to attack while staying connected to the tempo of the offense. She transitions quickly and positions herself to be available in every phase.

What elevates Grevengoed is her ability to contribute beyond scoring. She is engaged in serve-receive, active in defensive coverage, and consistently involved in the flow of play. Her awareness and consistency allow her to influence momentum without needing high-volume swings. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Why she’s on a coach’s short list: A true all-around outside who brings stability, versatility, and consistent impact across every phase of the match.

Lexi displayed a lot of talent on the court. During games against Joliet Central and Yorkville she recorded a lot of nice kills and showed off her skills. She played all around, giving nice passes out the back row and gave some great kills in both games. She really extends and stretches well when going up for kills making her 5ft 11 inch frame even bigger. Only a sophomore playing Varsity, she has a great career ahead of her at Joliet West, just getting started.

Lexie Grevengoed is only a sophomore and has been a key catalyst for the 32-3 Tigers of Joliet West.

Grevengoed has 300 kills on the season which is good for nearly four kills per set while also being a solid defender. She has over 200 digs on the season (2.7 digs/set) and has nearly 50 aces on the year.

Grevengoed just bounces off the ground with her approach, she is able to hit a variety of shots, and with her court vision she has a knack for scoring points in bunches. The Tigers have the top seed in their sectional heading into post season play.

It’s hard to believe a talent like hers can be unnoticed, but with this talented team, it’s possible to forget who scored what. Lexie can make every big play with her swing. Working the floor from all angles, covering the right side, giving the same power and ability. Even back middle versatility. Not afraid to give her body and lay it out for the dig. Single blocking on the net is a high skill.

I was able to see Lexie Grevengoed Lexie Grevengoed 5'11" | OH/RS Joliet West | 2028 State IL at the JVA World Challenge with her Sports Performance 15 Elite squad.  The six rotation outside hitter plays with such a swagger and rises to the big points.  She has a confident demeanor where she is fundamentally sounds in every aspect of an outside hitter’s game.  She moves well, is fast to the ball, and is able to hit the ball at the highest point possible.  There is also an “It” factor about her game where she wants the ball in big moments. She has quite the lineage of volleyball genes with family all around the game, including older sister, Ava Grevengoed at Northern Illinois.
