Per Marcus:
A 16-year-old from Eagan is the next uber-talented Minnesota teenager to be tagged as the top prospect in her sport.
Meet Mesa Jameson.
She’s the consensus choice to be the state’s top volleyball player, regardless of class, and among the United States’ best young volleyball players.
Just a sophomore, Jameson can jump to reach 10 feet 5 inches, nearly a half-foot above a basketball rim.
The 6-foot-3 middle blocker turned ferocious hitter is not just a powerful leaper but also adds elite lateral and forward quickness around the net. Coaches say she’s the total package.
And the recruiting frenzy for her is about to blow up.
“Her recruiting is at the highest level with the top schools wanting her to be on their campus,” said Jameson’s Northern Lights coach, Mark Steinbach. “With where she is now and what her potential is, I think she has the potential to be one of the greats.”
Since 2016, Eagan’s Kennedi Orr (Nebraska), Champlin Park’s Sydney Hilley (Wisconsin) and Wayzata’s Stella Swenson (Minnesota) were ranked top 10 national high school prospects from Minnesota. Orr was also the No. 1 player in her class as a junior in 2019.
Ranked as high as No. 3 in her class at her position nationally, Jameson puts less stock in ranking than a slideshow she put together earlier this spring with her mother, Kristina. It wasn’t for a school presentation.
Will Jameson end up staying home? Or will she be lured out of state to warmer weather? The Gophers and UCLA stopped by Northern Lights club practices recently.
Jameson attended camps hosted by the Gophers, Missouri and Nebraska last year. Former Eagan teammate Madi Kraft is a freshman libero with the Gophers.
“I personally love the Gophers and their staff is amazing,” Jameson said of coach Keegan Cook’s program. “I love the warmth. But I love being home. It’s kind of like a back and forth.”
