As we get set for another high school volleyball season, we will be revealing our Top 100 players to watch for in their respective classes. We will start with the senior class, followed by juniors, and then sophomores. The following players are ranked by their collegiate potential and the impact they made during the 2023 season.
#70 Isabelle Clark- Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy
Height: 5’11
Position: Middle Blocker
Commitment: Florida Tech
Clark takes advantage of mismatches on the defensive side of the court where her ability to finish off blocks sets the tone of her team. Clark does a great job when it comes to controlling her arm swing and can score a point at any given time. Heading into the season, Clark needs just four more kills to set the All-Time School Record for most kills in a career.
2023 Stats: 253 kills, 68 digs, 60 total blocks, 27 service aces
#69 Larissa Casatti- West Boca Raton
Height: 5’10
Position: Setter
Commitment: Uncommitted
Casatti is one of the top-ranked setters in the senior class and has one of the quickest releases making it fun for her teammates. Casatti is also very quick when it comes to her defensive game where she has great court vision and can go across from pin-to-pin.
2023 Stats: N/A
#68 Mariyana Cardwell- Monsignor Pace
Height: 6’1
Position: Right-Side Hitter
Commitment: Temple
Cardwell is the true definition of an all-around attacker and she can be very effective when playing around the net. At 6’1, Cardwell has a strong ability to get numerous kills and blocks per match. Look for Cardwell to have a strong senior season and could see the floor right away for the Owls by this time next year.
2023 Stats: 154 kills, 89 digs, 53 total blocks, 21 service aces
#67 Sydney Zanca- Riviera Prep
Height: 6’0

#66 Ivy Cooper- Fort Pierce Central
Height: 5’6
Position: Libero/Defensive Specialist
Commitment: Virginia Tech
2023 Stats: 438 digs, 33 service aces, 9 kills
#65 Taryn Newton- Mitchell (New Port Richey)
Height: 6’4
Position: Middle Blocker
Commitment: Liberty University (Softball)
At 6’4, Newton brings a versatile skillset whether it’s her size, length, or athleticism. Newton has strong skills playing at the front of the net as she can block almost anything that’s thrown in her direction. She is an exceptional prospect who can take a strong chance at making an impact right away at the next level.
2023 Stats: N/A
#64 Sarah Frazee- Gulf Breeze
Height: 5’8
Position: Libero/Defensive Specialist
Commitment: SMU
The 5’8 Libero has one of the elite court visions on the left-side where she finds holes to get her teammates involved in the passing game. When it comes to serve receiving, Lynn-Frazee has improved since the start of her freshman season and I fully expect that to be no different entering her senior year.
2023 Stats: 331 digs, 87 assists, 33 service aces
#63 Brooke Forkum- Middleburg
Height: 5’11
Position: Right Side Hitter
Commitment: Troy University
Forkum is a left-handed flamethrower who accounted in the big run in their Class 5A Championship run in 2023. Brooke can be a disruptor whether she’s playing in the front row or back as she has an elite arm swing that makes it hard for defenders to stop.
2023 Stats: 373 kills, 291 digs, 58 service aces, 24 total blocks
#62 Hannah Hankerson- Berkeley Prep
Height: 5’8
Position: Outside Hitter
Commitment: Army
Since her freshman season, Hankerson continues to improve her court vision and IQ as a hitter. When Hankerson is given space, she will make you pay as she can win a point at any given time. Hankerson has an all-around game whether it’s serve receiving, defending or attacking the front row. Hankerson is going to have a successful collegiate career no matter what position she ends up playing.
2023 Stats: 281 kills, 281 digs, 46 service aces, 17 total blocks
#61 Rylee Yarborough- Oviedo
Height: 6’0
Position: Right Side Hitter
Commitment: Rollins College
Yarborough has an elite skillset of size and athleticism whether it’s playing in the front row or on defense in the back. Her ability to control the tempo has continued to take huge strides over the last couple of years as well as her passing game.
2023 Stats: 272 kills, 205 digs, 20 service aces, 13 total blocks
