The RISE: Prep Stars making moves early in High School seasons

With Prep Seasons in full swing, you have some college prospects making extra-big impacts at the high school level.  Here are some of the RISERS who give recognition to as their PPVs went up this past week, and you can check them out in their class list on the site.

​

Reese Moriarity - Class of 2028 - Episcopal High and Houston Jrs - Opp/OH 

Bigger things are happening for the '28 Houston Area prospect mainly because she's getting bigger.  Growing 2" over the summer has increased Moriarity's PPV and also helped her game, and has her off to a hot start in her high school season.  It will also, no doubt, be something college scouts take notice of, come January.

​

Josslyn Jacks - Class of 2028 - Ontario Christian High - Opp/OH

Jacks already knows multiple ways to score the volleyball on the court vs. taller blocks, but she continues to improve her vertical game.  Another addition to her TOP Scores, adding to her Block Touch and her 3-Step Touch, has again helped the Cali prospect gain a bump in her PPV.  Josslyn is one of the more technically sound Opp/OH in the class, and her passing and ball contact are on point.  The higher she can play, the higher her offers will go come June.  One of our favorite athletes to follow for the class is already.

​

Aubree Svoboda - Class of 2028 - Houston Jrs and Clear Springs High - Libero

Svoboda was featured in our Liberos to Watch article a couple of weeks and then news of her playing with Houston Juniors for this upcoming club season broke.  That should help her recruiting process get seen on a more frequent basis and put her in more pressure-packed matches.  Getting on the list and the club switch piqued the interest of one of our pro scouts, which got the '28 bro some extra film evaluation.  The PPV bump followed.  Watch for Svoboda to have one of the top years in TX HS volleyball as well.

​

Heidi White - Class of 2028 - MVA Rise and East Grand Rapids - Setter

White appeared on our radar during the summer when she made the camp rounds to the elite programs around her hometown of Grand Rapids.  Solid camp reports at each stop and solid film moved her PPV up the list.  She again takes a bump as she begins her high school year.

​

Reagan Marsham - Class of 2028 - A5 and Pope High - Middle 

Marsham updated her physical stats for her TOP testing stats, and they will impress college coaches, no doubt. Touching 120 inches for her block touch and 127 inches for her 3-step approach.  If there is any doubt on what she measures at on the scale (121 inches), there is no doubt how high she is playing at.  Those #s led to an impressive 24-point PPV increase for Marsham in her PPV.  Absolutely one to be on the lookout for on our Player Profile list.

​

Amaya Zander - Class of 2028 - The Academy and Lawrence North High - OH/OPP

The Indiana prospect recently set a school record with 37 kills in a match for Lawrence North High.  That is an impressive feat at any level, but definitely one that shows her ability to terminate and take over a match and that leads to a PPV increase for the '28 prospect.  She also has an approach over 120 inches, so she is putting up #s that are what coaches want to see at the next level.

​

Isabella Sangha - Class of 2026 - Tribe Volleyball and Pine Crest School - Middle - Notre Dame VB/Basketball Commit

Sangha just gave her verbal to Notre Dame for both basketball and volleyball!  If you have watched her at a volleyball tourney, she looks the part of a college athlete and one who you could plug into your lineup.  Notre Dame has to be excited for the possibilities Sangha brings to their program.

​

Lucy Coombs - Class of 2027 - Elevate VB and Mt. Ridge High - Middle/Opp

Coombs started off her Jr. season by earning a all-tourney honors at the Vegas Classic tourney for Mt. Ridge High

​

Madyson McCarthy - Class of 2026 - WAVE and Cathedral Catholic - Outside - Lipscomb Commit

McCarthy was named the most dominant attacker in the Volleypalooza Tourney in Austin, TX as her Catherdral Catholic squad came in 2nd place amongts some of the nation's top high school teams.  The Lipscomb commit received a gain in her PPV score following evaluation of her entire tourney performance and the folks in Nashville have to be excited for this prospect to arrive.

​

Lila Green - Class of 2027 - Torrey Pines High - Libero - Kansas Commit

Green was the top defensive player at Volleypalooza as her Torrey squad won it all.  This is another PPV bump for the Jayhawk commit who continues to gradually increase her PPV as her career continues and is a solid commit for Coach Ulmer's staff.

​

Nailah Randle - Class of 2027 - Harlan High - Outside - LSU Commit

The LSU verbal who could end up being the prime time recruit for the class continues to climb the PPV chart and she continues to get recognized.  The short break between club and school ball did her well as she looks fresh and stronger.  Truly think she could push for a Gold Prospect before she heads to Baton Rouge.

​

Kamryn Roberts - Class of 2027 - Mintonette - Won an AAU National Championship over the Summer and is once again on the AVCA PHENOM Watch List as she keeps her college options open heading into her prep season.

​

Aylee Rose Pizzo - Class of 2028 - Aguorro High - Outside Hitter

2025 Malibu Varsity All-Tournament Team Award and 2025 Agoura HS Athlete of the Month (26 kills in a single game) to start her prep season.  This recognition and performance gave Aylee another Player Value point increase, and she is continuing the strong play she had during her club season.

​

Saylor Halvorson - Class of 2028 - Sports Academy and Thousand Oaks High - Outside

Coming off a strong season with Sports Academy, Halvorson was named the #2 ranked player in all of Ventura County, CA as a Sophomore.  Halvorson's game continues to get noticed in all seasons in the California region.

​

Baylee Wilson  - Class of 2029 - WAVE and Cathedral Catholic - Outside

All-Tourney Team Selection at Volleypalooza in Austin, TX.  The ONLY Class of 2029 selected in one of the deepest tournaments in the country.  If you don't know Baylee by now, you should jot the name down quickly because she will be one of the top recruits in the US beach and indoor for the next several years
