If a college coach asked me about Ruby Knapp Ruby Knapp 5'9" | OH Eastview | 2027 State MN , I would probably tell them she has a short memory, and I mean that as a compliment. Volleyball is full of mistakes. Every player makes them. The difference is how you respond afterward.

What I appreciate about Ruby is that she doesn’t seem to carry the last point with her. If something doesn’t go her way, she gets right back into the next rally. I think teammates feed off that. There is something calming about having a player on the court who isn’t riding the roller coaster of every point. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

“For a college coach, that’s a quality worth paying attention to. The season is long, matches are emotional, and things don’t always go according to plan. Ruby is comfortable staying focused on what comes next instead of what already happened.“

Knapp is a composed, high-IQ pin who thrives in rhythm and efficiency. She plays with clean footwork and a calm arm swing that allows her to tool the block and find open seams with consistency. This season, expect her to continue developing as a primary offensive option, especially in transition where her timing and court awareness give her an edge. Look for Knapp to be a steady six-rotation presence who brings balance in serve receive and reliable out-of-system production.
