BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana volleyball signees Charlotte Vinson (Yorktown, Ind./Yorktown) and Victoria Gray (Temperance, Mich./Bedford) were honored as Prep All-Americans by select national outlets over the past month. The two players wrapped up their high school careers in the fall and will play their final season of club volleyball before reporting to campus this summer.
Vinson, a 6-foot-2 outside hitter, is a consensus top-25 recruit in the class of 2025 and was named a High School All-American by the AVCA, Prep Volleyball and Max Preps. She was a finalist for the Max Preps National Player of the Year and was a First Team All-America selection by the outlet.
The Yorktown, Indiana recovered from a life-threatening illness in the spring, returning in time to play the majority of her senior season. She led Yorktown High School to an IHSAA 4A state title game appearance and was named Ms. Volleyball by the IHSVCA. She contributed 361 kills while hitting .324 during her final season. For her career, she tallied 1,940 kills and 968 digs.
Vinson graduated high school in December but will spend next semester playing her final season of club volleyball with Munciana. She will join the Hoosiers this summer and will be in consideration to start on the left side during the 2025 season. Prep Volleyball and Prep Dig both ranked her as the No. 25 overall recruit, one of the top three recruits to ever sign with the Hoosiers.
Gray, a 6-foot-2 middle blocker, is perhaps the best athlete in this year's recruiting class. In her high school volleyball career, she tallied over 1,100 kills while hitting .413 across four seasons. She had over 430 blocks and was a finalist for Ms. Volleyball in the state of Michigan.
The Temperance, Michigan native is also an elite basketball player and is spending the winter playing her final season of high school basketball. She led Bedford to a 24-3 record in the 2023-24 season and a spot in the state quarterfinals. She's the two-time reigning Monroe County Region Player of the Year in Michigan and will look to be the first player to win the award in three-straight years.
Vinson and Gray are joined in a prolific recruiting class by outside hitter Jaidyn Jager (Carlsbad, Calif./La Costa Canyon), defensive specialist Avery Freeman (Bloomington, Ind./Bloomington North) and outside hitter/defensive specialist Audrey Jackson (Flower Mound, Texas/Flower Mound). All five players will report to campus in the summer.
