Maya Johnson '23 Recruiting Profile

My scholastic goal is to obtain a Bachelors's Degree in Mechanical Engineering.  My current GPA is 4.6 and I am always striving to be better at the sport I am playing.  I have a competitive nature and have played many sports.  I played lacrosse, softball, basketball, and volleyball in middle school as well as AAU Travel Basketball.  I was the captain of all of the sports teams I played because my coaches see me as a leader.  We won several volleyball and basketball championships.  Currently, I am a starter on my high school Varsity Volleyball team and Varsity basketball team but I have decided to stop playing AAU Travel Basketball to play Club Volleyball.  I discovered this Fall 2019 that volleyball is my true passion.  I was pulled up to varsity volleyball at my high school for Fall 2019 as a freshman for playoff games to the State Championship.   Even though we placed second in the state I saw some outstanding aggressive hard hitters and amazing passers that inspired me.  I believe I stand out to coaches because I am confident, composed, and extremely coachable.  For the 2021 season, I earned the Offensive Player of the Year Award at my high school and the 2021 AAU Volleyball Academic All-American Award.
