Red Spotlight: Meet the 2029 Standouts

Dani Solomon | 2029 OH | NC Academy | PPV: 91.0

Dani Solomon is already putting together the kind of résumé that makes a 2029 prospect impossible to overlook. The 6'2" Cedar Ridge standout exploded onto the high school scene as a freshman, earning Class 5A First Team All-State, First Team All-Region and First Team All-Conference honors in her debut season. And the production matched the recognition. Solomon finished her freshman campaign with 346 kills on 695 attempts, hitting an impressive .498, while adding 52 aces, 29 blocks and 131 digs. She also contributed 256 ball-handling plays with just six errors, showing an all-around skill set that extends well beyond her offensive production. Solomon's postseason performance earned her a spot on the All-State Tournament Team, while she was also named Conference Player of the Week and landed on the NCVBA Watch List. Her leadership has been just as notable at the club level, where she has served as team captain in both 2025 and 2026. At 6'2", Solomon owns a 113" block touch and 122" approach touch, giving her an impressive physical foundation to pair with her proven production.
