About Tessa
Expert Analysis
Michael DeLeon | Prep Dig Scout
Please welcome Miss Smith officially to the State Rankings. She is currently ranked as the 69th best overall prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig California State Rankings. She plays for Castro Valley High School and also for the NorCal Volleyball club. This high school season she has been a double-digit point scorer just waiting to happen. What makes her stand out is how normally in club she is used as an opposite due to her blocking ability and sheer size against the best attackers for the opposition, but has been starring on the left side for her high school squad. This kind of versatility and athleticism shows that she is ready for a much more. Normally someone this tall does not put a lot of effort into driving hard into the ground, but Tessa uses punishing steps in order to get as high as she can with her vertical, which leads to some jaw-dropping bombs from her high-powered attack. There are many who have figured out how to slow her down on the pins. She is even playing back row defense out of middle back and swinging hard from the pipe route. Please help us congratulate her on being named one of the top players in our State Rankings.
