Mobley, who plays for Big Walnut High School in Sunbury, Ohio, averaged 20.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game as a junior.
Her team finished 23-5 after a loss to Mount Notre Dame in the OHSAA Division II state semifinal.
Over her high school career, Mobley has amassed 1,508 points, 835 rebounds, 228 assists, 186 steals, and 145 blocks.
She played one season at Lewis Center Olentangy before two seasons at Big Walnut.
According to 247Sports, Mobley ranks as high as No. 22 in the 2027 class by ESPN.
She has already taken an official visit to Virginia Tech on April 25 and has scheduled visits to Illinois on June 22 and Ohio State on June 27.

Securing Mobley would be a major win for Illinois head coach Shauna Green, especially since Mobley grew up near Ohio State's campus.
The Illini have signed only one true freshman for the 2026 class so far, following a top-10 recruiting class in 2025.
Illinois' 2025-26 recruiting class included five freshmen: five-star guard Berry Wallace, four-star guard Hayven Smith, and four-star forwards Tajianna Roberts and Ari Long.
Those additions helped the Illini achieve a 22-12 record and reach the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Recent roster moves for Illinois include adding LSU transfer guard Jada Richard, junior-college guard Kelis Fisher, and freshman center Danijela Brenjo from ŽKK Mega Superbet.
