Faye Wilbricht Faye Wilbricht 5'10" | OH Holy Cross | 2021 State TX [2021] 5-10 Outside (HS: Holy Cross/Club: SA Juniors/Verbal: Texas A&M)
Faye has earned the honor of being ranked as the 11th best volleyball player in the state of Texas according to our Prep Dig rankings. We wrote an article on her last July and we said the following, “Miss Wilbricht is part of the famed ten foot club, meaning she can approach touch ten feet in the air. She possesses a great ability to get off of the ground so effortlessly and it is with this hang time and vertical ability that she scores against her opponents so easily. She is committed to one of the best programs in the country in Baylor. She will have an immediate impact on their program to keep them at the top of their game. She has the ability to pass out of the back row well as she has been a six rotation player for a while now. Her SA Magic program uses her offensively in the front and back row to score. We are excited to watch her during her senior year as she gets ready to take that next step at the next level.” We have news that she recently changed her commitment to Texas A&M now. She will have some great competition in the SEC while competing in College Station. She now plays for San Antonio Juniors , which is a new program located in the San Antonio area. In four years at Holy Cross High School she has obliterated the record books. She has amassed 1706 kills, hit an amazing .281 percentage, had 107 blocks, 120 aces and also 943 digs. She has been phenomenal on the court and will likely be just as explosive at A&M next year when she arrives on campus. We are proud of her and can’t wait to see her compete at the collegiate level.
Keagan Polk Keagan Polk 5'7" | DS/L Southlake Carroll | 2021 State TX [2021] 5-7 Libero (HS: Southlake Carroll/Club: Dallas Skyline/Verbal: Baylor)
Keagan Polk Keagan Polk 5'7" | DS/L Southlake Carroll | 2021 State TX has been ranked as the 17th best prospect in the State of Texas according to our State Rankings. When we profiled Miss Polk in July we stated the following, “She is one of the most gifted serve receive passers in the state. She is ranked as the fifth best libero in her class. What makes her serve receive so great is her footwork and her body posture. One of the hardest things to do in sports is move backwards while trying to play a ball correctly. Being a libero is all about form and technique. Miss Polk is able to shuffle her feet in many directions all while staying extremely balanced prior to and during contact. Keagan keeps her posture throughout her entire movement to the ball. It is a great site to see as a coach at heart. I love the fact that she keeps her arms well away from her body during contact which allows her to create angles and soften the touch on the ball. She is also committed to Baylor and will transition to the collegiate game so easily. Baylor is getting a good one in Miss Polk. We are excited to continue coverage for one more year. “ In four years at Southlake Carroll Miss Polk has accumulated some great stats. She has 1700 digs, 1249 service receptions, 69 kills and even had 15 kills as a libero. With her at the defensive helm, they were able to go 14-6 overall and 8-4 in district. She is an early enrollee at Baylor and has already started her collegiate career. We could not be more proud to have had her in our State Rankings and look forward to watching her play at Baylor.

Eliana Posada Eliana Posada 6'1" | RS Tompkins | 2021 State TX is ranked as the 41st best player in the 2021 class according to our State Rankings. When we profiled her back in July we stated this about her, “This lefty was built for the game of volleyball. She is so silky smooth with her approach footwork. It seems as if she glides on the court like she is dancing. Some people just have that natural ability and this is how I would describe Miss Posada. Her footwork is so effortless and it is such a delight to witness. She is a dominant force on the right side of the court offensively. She possesses an absolute cannon for a left arm. She has such a beautiful picturesque approach to the ball as she flies through the air to attack. I will be showing many lefty young volleyball players her videos to make sure they try to pick up as much as possible. There is no doubt about her ability to score on the right side of the court. This lefty can BANG! If you haven’t watched her swing, you should definitely look her up. She will have a great senior season at Tompkins high and we can’t wait to cover her.” This past season she helped her varsity squad have a 14-8 overall record and an 8-4 district record. In three years on varsity she has amassed 417 kills, 95 total blocks, hit .244 percentage, and had 88 digs. She is joining a star studded roster for the three time defending ACC Champion Pitt Panthers. We are excited for her to be part of such an amazing college program.
