BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Amidst a run of outstanding sustained success – highlighted by 28 Big Ten wins since the beginning of 2022 – head coach Steve Aird and the Indiana Volleyball program has officially put pen to paper on the highest-ranked recruiting class in school history.
IU signed the No. 15 overall class by Prep Volleyball in 2020 – a group that featured middle blocker Savannah Kjolhede and outside hitter Morgan Geddes. However, this class could have even more of an impact. This year's collection of talent features five players, including two outside hitters, one middle blocker and two defensive specialists.
Of the two major ranking services, Prep Dig was the first to release its final class of 2025 rankings. It tabbed IU's recruiting class as the No. 14 overall class in the country. All five Hoosier signees were ranked inside the top-150 of the final individual rankings. Prep Volleyball has yet to release its updated rankings but IU is expected to land a top-15 class by that service as well.
IU's 2025 class is highlighted by a pair of outstanding outside hitters in Charlotte Vinson (Yorktown, Ind./Yorktown) and Jaidyn Jager (Carlsbad, Calif./La Costa Canyon). The pair of talented players are ranked No. 25 and No. 31 respectively by Prep Dig and will figure to factor into IU's offense next season.
The Hoosiers wanted to add depth in the back row for next season. Defensive specialist Avery Freeman (Bloomington, Ind./Bloomington North) and outside hitter/defensive specialist Audrey Jackson (Flower Mound, Texas/Flower Mound) come to Bloomington with exceptional motors and ball handling skills.
Freeman is the No. 73 overall prospect in the class and the first Bloomington native to sign with IU since Ashley Benson (2007-10). Jackson – a late addition to the class – switched her collegiate plans from beach to indoor and is tabbed as the No. 142 overall recruit in the country.
One of the fastest rising players in the entire class is middle blocker Victoria Gray (Temperance, Mich./Bedford). The 6-foot-2 volleyball and basketball player was signed out of the state of Michigan where she was a finalist for MHSAA Ms. Volleyball and was named an AVCA Third Team All-American.
All five players will come to Bloomington in the summer where they will join a returning core of players that includes outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles and opposite hitter Avry Tatum. The Hoosiers are also expected to add a couple players from the transfer portal to supplement next year's crop of talent.
