Class of 2027 Setters: The Volleyball Teams Where Half the Setters Are Seniors

If you are a setter in the class of 2027, this list is for you. These are the volleyball teams where half or more of the setters on the 2026-27 roster are seniors or graduate students. In Division I alone, 46 teams with two or more setters fit that description.

Seniors finish after this season, so these are the teams where setter spots usually open up next year. That does not mean a team will recruit your position - coaches also use the transfer portal and returning players - but it is the best place to start your list before you email anyone.

How to use this list

Start with the schools that fit you academically and financially, then check the setters on their roster: how many there are, and what year each one is in. Email the head coach with your film and your graduation year, and mention that you play setter. Positions are as each team lists them.

How we counted

We compared every 2026-27 roster we hold with the same team's 2025-26 roster, matching players by name. A team is only ranked if its 2026-27 roster is clearly the new season's: it lists freshmen, at most half of last season's seniors are still on it, and at least 70% of returning players moved up a class. Teams need 12 or more players. Every team named here was checked against its live roster page on 12 October 2026; four teams whose page had changed since were left out. Seniors include graduate students.
