Ranked as the No. 31 overall recruit in the country by PrepVolleyball.com, Dostic is the highest-rated high school signee for Tennessee since 2013.

She helped the Panthers to four-straight 7A title matches, winning the 2021 and 2023 championships. For her career, she’s tallied 1,427 digs, 1,320 kills, 197 aces and 113 blocks.
As a senior, Dostic was the 2024 MaxPreps Player of the Year for Florida and garnered second Team All-American honors from the organization. She posted 311 kills on .313 hitting, 166 digs, 51 aces and 27 blocks. She finished with double-digit kills in 16 matches, including three 20-kill efforts and a 30-kill performance. She also added five double-doubles after posting at least 10 digs in a match six times.
She helped Plant win the 2023 state title after posting a career-best 366 kills for the season. She tallied 18 kills and 16 digs during the championship win over Winter Park. During her sophomore campaign, she recorded a staggering 752 digs, which ranked second among all players in Florida and 47th nationally, according to MaxPreps.
Dostic played club volleyball at OTVA Tampa, where she garnered numerous All-Tournament honors throughout her career. She helped the team finish first in the 17 Open competition of the 2024 Nike MEQ and 2024 Big South Tournaments.
“Maggie is a great addition to our program as one of the most complete outside hitters in the class. She has been the go-to attacker for her high school and club teams, as well as a primary passer. She has good range and vision, which make her highly effective in the front row. What I really like is Maggie is used to winning and understands what it takes. Her game will continue to improve at the next level, and we are excited about her development here.” – Head Coach Eve Rackham Watt
