Marcella is slowing getting on all our radars here at Prepdig, and she makes the leap from 75th to 51st in this latest rankings. Marcella is a setter who is super athletic and plays way bigger over her 5’7 listed height. She is someone who can play all the way around as a 5-1 setter or provide some offensive value in a 6-2 or even as a front row setter. Her ability to be a physical force at the net as a setter is what really stands out in her ability to jump in the rankings.

Another value is she also has soft hands and is able to run a fast offense regardless of pass location. She is capable of running the middle in front and behind her and is great at taking what a defense gives her in terms of match ups with their blockers. She has the court awareness to set her team up to be the most successful when they are in system. Lastly she also adds value behind the service line with an aggressive serve that can create pressure and disrupt opposing offenses.
