Once a long, gangly underclassmen, the 6’7″ Voss has developed into an excellent player at the high school level that can impact a game on both ends of the floor.
Colleges from various levels have taken notice of Voss’ development. He has received interest from schools such as NJIT, Canisius College, Arkansas-Fort Smith, Nebraska-Omaha and Illinois College.
“The key to my improvement throughout my career would have to be my support system. I have had amazing support from my family, my coaches (both high school and AAU) and my teammates. All of them push me to be the best player I can be.”
Through 13 games, Voss is averaging 12.3 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 66 percent from the field and 73 percent from the free throw line. Voss is among the area’s leaders in blocked shots at 3.5 per game.
“I would say the strengths of my game are shot blocking and my ability to see everything happening on the floor in the post,” Voss said.
Voss has a very solid low post game with the ability to score with both hands around the basket. He has gotten stronger, which enables him to hold his position in the low post against physical defenders. He can also step out and shoot the 15 footer.
“I am much more comfortable stepping out and shooting compare to last season,” Voss said. “I would like to continue to get better at shooting, ball handling and become a dominant rebounder.”
Timberland is currently enjoying one of its best seasons in school history at 11-2. Voss has his sights set on winning the school’s first district championship.
“We want to have a 20-game season and win our school’s first district championship,” he said. “That would be special.”
