About Zaniyah

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Focused, competative, and a team player who encourages teamates.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I enjoy the friendships playing volleyball brings and love watching my teammates be successful. On the court I am focused and driven, and off the court you will find me laughing and having fun. At practice, I am always looking at how I can improve my skill and am willing to put in extra time with reps and defense outside of scheduled practices.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I received an Eddie Award for my school district that goes to students who go beyond to help others. I have also received academic awards for scholastic achievements. This year in High School I joined BSU.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I enjoy doing community service involving cleaning up our city, and helping the elderly in my neighborhood.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I learned to juggle living in 2 seperate homes when my parents seperated.

What type of college are you looking for?

A University or State College

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

Zaniyah Corneille 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.

Zaniyah Corneille Zaniyah Corneille Zaniyah Corneille 5'11" | OH/RS Thomas Downey | 2028 CA continues to make a strong impression with her steady growth and high ceiling. This club season, she has shown consistent development and a growing confidence in her game. Zaniyah plays with poise at the net, staying composed in tight moments and bringing reliable energy to every touch. She is athletic, focused, and shows great body control when transitioning between offense and defense.

Her presence on the court is both steady and impactful. She contributes on both sides of the ball and is beginning to assert herself as a dependable option in high-pressure situations.

Zaniyah Corneille Zaniyah Corneille Zaniyah Corneille 5'11" | OH/RS Thomas Downey | 2028 CA is a strong contributor in both the front and back row, bringing a powerful swing and a competitive edge to the outside. She plays big at the net, swinging with confidence and moving well on defense to keep plays alive. A former middle who transitioned to the outside to create more opportunities on the ball, Zaniyah shows smart decision-making and a steady presence when reading defenses.

When asked what drives her, Zaniyah shared that while her teammates and coaches push her, her competitiveness and will to win come from within. Her favorite sets to hit are the “Go” and the “2,” a nod to her days dominating as a middle. Before matches, she fuels up with a homemade strawberry banana smoothie. As Nationals approach, she is excited to explore the host city and looks forward to battling top Texas teams. Away from volleyball, Zaniyah enjoys spending time with her two dogs, Bubs and Benji. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247

Zaniyah Corneille Zaniyah Corneille Zaniyah Corneille 5'11" | OH/RS Thomas Downey | 2028 CA is a dynamic outside hitter with the ability to score from both pins and make an impact from the back row. Her versatility and consistency make her a threat from anywhere on the court.

What truly sets her apart is her ball control. She was identified by an opposing coach as the best passer on her team, a sentiment that’s hard to argue with. Her platform work and court awareness give her team a strong foundation in serve receive and defense.

Zaniyah is the complete package—skilled, reliable, and ready to contribute at the next level. For college programs looking to add high-level talent to their radar, she should be at the top of the list. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247
