Joshua Koch

Welcome to the 2020 volleyball season. What a weird offseason it was for everyone. No club tournaments to travel to, limited training available but what that means is everyone should be fresh for the 2020 campaign.

Over the past few weeks VYPE has previewed 30 public school teams, released our Class 5A and Class 6A rankings. So, now it is time to reveal the 2020 All-VYPE Public School team.

"LOWERCASE" LEADERSHIP: Oguns emerges as a defining presence in Alief Taylor Volleyball // Powered by LOVB

Alief Taylor's Omotola Oguns

Jamey Wright (VYPE)

By the time most high school athletes reach their senior year, the game has become more than just a sport -- it's a mirror. For Omotola Oguns, evert rep, rally, and regroup has reflected four seasons of growth, both on the court and off it.

A returning outside hitter for Alief Taylor, Oguns enters the 2025 campaign as a central figure for a Lions team looking to build on last year’s playoff appearance. Taylor finished 15-17 in 2024 and claimed the fourth and final postseason spot in District 20-6A before falling in the first round to Cinco Ranch — a team that went on to reach the Region III Final.

HEADLINING THE HERD: Johnson's dual-threat capability could lift Buffs, Aggies alike

Fort Bend Marshall's Kaeden "KK" Johnson

Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)

As Fort Bend Marshall gears up for what could be a defining season, all eyes are on senior Kaeden Johnson -- a competitor whose blend of talent and leadership has made him the heartbeat of the Buffs' program.

The dynamic three-star prospect, recently ranked No. 174 nationally in On3’s Rivals300 update, has firmly established himself as one of Texas’s most versatile and impactful high school athletes. Johnson, who announced his commitment to Texas A&M in June, enters his final campaign as the undisputed catalyst of the Buffs’ offense and a cornerstone for Coach James Williams and his staff.

BUYING IN: Army-bound Obiero-Hyter seeing returns on his investment at Hastings

Alief Hastings' Xavier Obiero-Hyter

Jamey Wright (VYPE)

There's no flashy stat line for an offensive lineman. No highlight reel moment that captures the relentless footwork, the hand placement, the snap-to-whistle discipline. But for Hastings senior Xavier Obiero-Hyter, that quiet grind is exactly where he thrives.

Now entering his final season with the Bears, Obiero-Hyter stands as one of the program’s most reliable and respected leaders—earning first-team, all-district honors in 2024 and announcing his commitment to continue his career at Army-West Point this past June. His impact isn’t always loud, but it’s foundational.
