2025 Recruiting Class Rankings: 11-20

In their second year of recruiting the Commodores had an incredible class made of several stars. Texas Middle Blocker Sydney Bryant headlines the class, but they also landed another top middle in Ariel Chime and a highly ranked Outside in Maya Witherspoon. This ended up being a sneaky-deep class and the late addition of Chime was a huge W for the SEC’s newest program.

Houston heads the class with Tenesyn Frye from Idaho. Frye is an aggressor running the offense. The Cougars then landed a top 150 middle and a top 100 libero with the verbals of Tara Greenberry and Gillian Pitts. Overall, a very impressive class for Houston.

4 Verbals Team Total PPV: 597 Prospect Avg PPV: 149.25

The Boilermakers class consists of four commits. The star is top 20 outside Addy Tindall. The power-armed Tindall looks to be a future key on the front line.

‍

#17 UNLV Rebels (Mountain West)

6 Verbals Team Total PPV: 595 Prospect Avg PPV: 99.17

UNLV is the only non-Power 4 team in the top 20, and they were able to do that by grabbing Texas Middle Blocker Kaelynn Sims and other top 150 prospects in Maya Banks and Kaia Thiele. The Running Rebels should land the #1 class in the Mountain West this cycle.

‍

#18 Iowa State Cyclones (Big 12)

4 Verbals Team Total PPV: 570 Prospect Avg PPV: 142.5

The Cyclones were able to keep two top-50 prospects in the Midwest. Kansas’ Alea Goolsby and Minnesota’s Mesaiya Bettis. Both of those outsides look to be key pieces in the future of a fast-growing Cyclones team.

‍

#19 Missouri Tigers (SEC)

4 Verbals Team Total PPV: 553 Prospect Avg PPV: 125.75

The Tigers had the surprise steal of the class when they landed top 10 OH Asia Harvey. Harvey, is the top Georgia prospect and is the main reason Mizzou landed in the Top 20.

‍

#20 Penn State (Big 10)

5 Verbals Team Total PPV: 547 Prospect Avg PPV: 109.4

Penn State’s class isn’t as highly ranked as years past, but they still were able to add top East Coast players in Virginia’s Alexis Ewing and New York’s Marin Collins. They also added a top Indiana Libero in Lexi Gin.

‍

#21 Illinois Fighting Illini (Big 10)

5 Verbals Team Total PPV: 500 Prospect Avg PPV: 100

We apologize for the confusion Illinois was accidentally omitted from yesterday’s rankings, so we will add them today.

The Illini struck early and often in June. Headlining with Top 30 prospect in Wisconsin Middle Gabriella Pitcel. Illinois then added one of the most underrated liberos in the ‘25 class in South Dakota’s Taryn Kirsch. In total, the class has high-end talent and overall depth.
