Decision '26: What are they getting in Hoying, Perry, Dodd, and Keiran

Decision ‘26

What they are getting

‍

Layla Hoying Outside Hitter Mintonette - Ohio State University, Buckeyes

Born and raised in Ohio, it was always meant that Hoying would grow up to be a Buckeye and it’s safe to say Ohio State earned a star outside hitter. Three-time AAU National Champion and this year's most recent MVP will live up to the expectations set before her, one of the most powerful athletes in the class with an aggressive arm swing that powers through blockers. She is a natural athlete who is dynamic in where she can attack from, running a two ball or from the back row, Hoying is a difficult attacker to stop. She carries a large load leadership wise and skill wise as a six rotation attacker, the Big Ten and Buckeye fans will know her name soon enough.

Tessa Dodd Outside Hitter Norco - University of Oregon, Ducks  

6-foot-4 outside hitter out of Colorado verbally committed to the Oregon Ducks, a lengthy attacker that has the physical ability to elevate over the block to score on offense and be a shutdown blocker at the net. Dodd’s impact is primarily in the front row as a patient blocker who seals the net well and has good vision out of system to attack the hole in the block. Oregon is known for its size in the front row and Dodd brings that physicality to compete in the Big Ten.

‍

Camille Perry Middle Blocker Houston Skyline - University of Tennessee, Volunteers

One of two impact middles on this Skyline team who perform at a very high level will be competing in the SEC as a Volt, Perry stands at a physical 6’3 with natural athleticism that allows her to attack with precision on offense and discipline while blocking to be effective with block touches. She is efficient from behind the setter and in front of the setter, Perry moves the ball around well and can score from different angles on the court making her a dominant force for Tennessee in the upcoming years.

Emily Keiran Libero Kiva - Auburn University, Tigers  

Kiva and Assumption are known to produce some of the best athletes across the nation, Keiran is no exception. The Tigers are getting a relentless libero with high-level ball control that challenges attackers to find a way to score. Keiran is quiet with her platform on hard-driven balls to control them to target and she anticipates the next play putting herself in the correct position to make a defensive effort. With her high-level knowledge of the game and fast footwork in the back row, Auburn has a libero coming to the gym that will elevate the effort in the gym.
