America's 300 List: Rolling Again with #125-111

America’s Top 200 List

#125-111

​

#125 Ellyson Randolph - Class of 2027 Outside - Club: NC Academy - Commit: Kentucky

Randolph has the chance to be a real steal for the Wildcats. She loves the sport and loves being in the gym. She played up two age groups with the 18s age group this past season. She is a Craig Skinner favorite in that she can pass very well for a tall Outside. Her best volleyball is in front of her. Watch her climb the ’27 ladder before they walk on campuses.

​

#124 Caelyn Whoesndove - Class of 2027 Outside - Club: A5 - Commit: Clemson

Jumps out of the gym and plays the game with aggression. Caelyn is so athletic. This is such a great commitment for Clemson and a great opportunity for the A5 prospect. Caelyn needs to continue to work on the technical parts of her game to succeed in the ACC, but her athletic ability is there and will only get better and more explosive. If she stays hungry, like she played this club season, you will hear of her in the ACC future.

​

#123 Piper Pease - Class of 2028 Opposite - Club: Alamo - Commit: UC

If you follow us, you know Pease is a favorite. She reminds me of a Chloe Meester (Frosh at Louisville) playing on the Opposite. Strong, powerful with and aggressive approach and terminates when she swings. Pease was extremely impressive at Nationals in July, and this is a big club season for her as the Opposite position is talented in the ’28 class.

​

#122 Tinsley Welker-Brown - Class of 2027 Setter - Club: Houston Skyline - Commit: Arizona

Tinsley is a physical, aggressive setter who was consistently impressive in her work for Skyline. I think she is a terrific fit at Arizona and has a great career ahead of her, and could look for early playing time.

​

#121 Kaitlyn Herweg - Class of 2027 Libero - Club: SC Rockstar - Commit: Indiana

The Hoosiers used their Cali connections in recruiting to land the decorated prep star Herweg. Another physical libero, she will have an excellent chance at some early action in Bloomington that is suddenly becoming a hotbed for successful liberos. Herweg comes in with lots of hype surrounding her game.

​

#120 Averi Bridges - Class of 2028 Libero - Club: VCNebraska - Commit: UC

Well, it’s her recruiting time now. The one that became a star, taking blow after blow vs. WAVE and Ireland Real two years ago at Nationals as a little freshman to be, is now ready for her recruiting season. She is steady and solid technique-wise. She has camped at some legit schools and taken in the NTDP experience. How does Bridges put it all together and grow from everything this season, and grow her overall game? That is what is left to see and how far that vaults her in the overall 2028 ‘bro picture. Regardless, she’s one of the tops in a deep libero class; there isn’t much doubt.

​

#119 Brooklyn Sippio - Class of 2027 Middle - Club: Game Point - Commit: UC

Sippio is an uncommitted ’27 who was new to our radar late this Summer; she doesn’t have a Player Profile. She is that raw middle, who has the athleticism to be successful now as the skills come along. She is doing a lot right now because of her athleticism, which we remind everyone is a GOOD THING, as many college coaches assume they can treat great athletes with the skill and technique, but you can NEVER teach someone to touch 10’4” if it simply isn’t genetically in them to not do so. Look for Sippio to still stay down South when she commits and possibly an SEC program at that.

​

#118 Morgan Nesloney - Class of 2028 Libero - Club: TAV - Commit: UC

Nesloney has climbed our charts and the big board of many schools, looking to add a libero in 2028. Fundamentals and consistency from her game, plus playing in the TAV program, she is getting plenty of championship environment experience. Coaches will be watching to see if Morgan continues to make strides in her game this season.

​

#117 Nailah Randle - Class of 2027 Outside - Club: Austin Performance - Commit: LSU

She looks the part, that is for sure. Randle can pass for a freshman SEC Outside Hitter right now. She was the key to the talented Tiger class that has flirted with the top of the SEC rankings and is their best recruiting class ever. Nailah has the explosive take off and can hang in the air for an extra bit. She has a snappy arm that gives her a quick release, also important in getting powerful shots off just a bit quicker than most recruits. She can pass fast and above average clip, so she is player ready when she gets to campus and is an SEC athlete right now, always an important trait in programs building to win soon.

​

#116 Jaycee Mack - Class of 2027 Outside - Club: WAVE - Commit: Baylor

Mack is another six-rotation NTDP player who will make her someone ready to push for PT day 1 at Baylor. She is a strong passer and swings with a heavy arm. She has played in MANY big matches between WAVE and Torrey Pines HS so she is a winner also.

​

#115 Sarah Hickman - Class of 2026 Opposite - Club: Houston Juniors - Commit: Stanford

Hickman was the #1 Opposite prospect in the Class of ’26 a year ago, but rumors of bad back pain or injury and little nagging injuries kept her out parts of the club season, and it seemed she didn’t get going quite the same way this season as last year. Still, her 6’4” frame and smooth attack are hard to overlook, and when healthy and in a consistent routine, she is a force on the pin.

​

#114 Baylee Wilson - Class of 2028 Outside - Club: Coast Volleyball - Commit: UC

Another of our “youngins,” Wilson, sure doesn’t look it (already at 122 inches) or play like it (made the All-Tourney Team at Volley Palooza in Austin, TX for Cathedral Catholic this Fall. Baylee is going to be one of America’s Best in the near future and is already a name we should all be watching very carefully, more so because of her excellent passing skills that go along with her ability to attack at such a highly successful rate. You can also see the “beach game” in her play, which gives her the total package. **Sidenote: Wilson was one we looked at after we officially posted the list, and probably thought should have been up higher already, she is that good.**

​

#113 Isabel Incinelli - Class of 2027 Outside - Club: WPVC - Commit: Texas A&M

Aggie fans, get ready, you have a blossoming star headed to College Station. Isabel was the center of one of the better recruiting battles in the Class of ’27, and let’s just say she was a wanted prospect. His long frame and ability to put on strength and more size make her a very attractive target at the next level. Not to mention that she is already increasing her dynamic (explosive/vertical) game. Strong on the block because of her reach and quickness, YES, smooth on her routes, YES. There is a lot to love about this Florida prospect heading into her Junior season.

​

#112 Haley Burgdorf - Class of 2026 Outside - Club: Sports Performance - Commit: Penn State

Uggg, I feel like we have never had a great read on Burgdorf, and I’m not sure why. Our evaluation of her is that she is a very good volleyball player. Solid in many phases, but fourth?? In their incoming Class of 2026 (which is no shame because you will see where we have the other three). Then everyone else has her much higher, and now she gets a UA All-American invite. Let’s just leave it at she is very, very talented, and I hope we are wrong and she is higher than this (by the way, this basically means she is a Top 40ish in class prospect), so it’s not like we are saying she is awful by any means. Good luck, Haley. We can’t wait to publicly say we were wrong:)

​

​

#111 Janiah Burrage - Class of 2028 Outside - Cub: Club V - Commit: UC

Burrage fits a niche in the class where she is an elevating OH in a year that isn’t overly deep with dominating outsides that can terminate with high efficiency. For any of the Top 10 programs looking for 1 Go-To pin, she is going to be in high demand. She was impressive at Dream Team Camp in July, and her 126-inch 3-step was impressive as well.
