Ridge Point's Taylor Johnson
SILENT KILLER: Ridge Point's Johnson expected to thrive at center stage in 2025 // Powered by LOVB
Johnson, a dynamic outside hitter, has long been a steady and quietly dominant presence for both Ridge Point and Houston Skyline 17 Royal — a club team loaded with Division I talent. She’s competed alongside high-profile players like SMU’s Kennedi Rogers and Nebraska commit Jayden Robinson, the latter of whom remains a teammate at Ridge Point and Skyline.

Earlier this July, that same Skyline squad earned the No. 1 national ranking after winning the 17U Open Division title — a testament to the group’s elite depth and chemistry.
Even in a gym full of standouts, Johnson has drawn consistent praise from coaches for her completeness as a player. Whether it’s her clean ball control, ability to terminate out of system, or disciplined net play, she’s become a go-to option in crucial moments.
Her commitment to Iowa State, made official last October, was no surprise to those who’ve seen her growth firsthand.
In 2024, while splitting touches with several top hitters, Johnson still managed 188 kills, 25 blocks, and 31 digs. With a larger offensive role expected this fall, those numbers are likely to rise significantly.

Ridge Point finished last season 36-12, continuing a dominant stretch with their eighth straight district title before falling to Cinco Ranch in the third round of the playoffs. With Johnson and Robinson leading the charge, the Panthers have every reason to believe a State Final Four appearance —or better — is within reach in 2025.
It may have taken time for Johnson’s name to break through the noise, but now that it has, don’t expect it to fade anytime soon.
