Zaniyah Corneille Zaniyah Corneille 5'11" | OH/RS Thomas Downey | 2028 CA – The Primary Scorer

Zaniyah Corneille Zaniyah Corneille 5'11" | OH/RS Thomas Downey | 2028 CA , a 6’0” freshman outside hitter and defensive specialist for Thomas Downey High School, has quickly established herself as a high-level offensive weapon. In 51 sets this season, she has tallied 263 kills on 566 attempts while maintaining a .465 kill percentage. Averaging 5.2 kills per set, Corneille shows both volume and efficiency, delivering as a primary option while limiting errors. Her ability to consistently finish rallies makes her one of the most productive freshmen in California’s 2028 class.

Beyond her impressive numbers, Corneille brings maturity and versatility that stand out for her age. She pairs her front-row scoring with the ball control and defensive range of a back-row contributor, making her valuable in multiple phases of the game. With a 4.48 GPA, she is as strong in the classroom as she is on the court, and her high volleyball IQ allows her to adjust quickly to different situations. For college coaches, Corneille represents a rare blend of academic excellence, athletic upside, and the intangible presence that elevates teammates around her.
