As expected, this year’s club season has provided so many more opportunities to scout 2025s and add more players to the watch list. This set of additions reflects just a few of the many athletes I’ve been able to see in action this year. Better yet, I’ll have a chance to put up so many more names on this list by the end of the club season this summer.
This tireless search to discover new talent is what makes the club season so appealing, after all. It’s tough to make a high school varsity roster as a freshman, and that’s the position that 2025s found themselves in last fall. Once the calendar turned, though, so many 15s seized moments in the spotlight at club events.
That’s where our new additions come in. Here are just a handful of fresh entries you can find in our latest 2025 watch list!
Abbie Apfel Abbie Apfel 5'10" | OH Lincoln Southwest | 2025 State NE – 5’10 OH – VCNebraska 15 Elite
Lately, Apfel has brought a steady six-rotation presence to the outside hitter spot for VCNebraska 15 Elite. Her all-around skills will be put on display several more times before the club season is done.
Reagan Ashby Reagan Ashby 5'5" | DS/L Aurora | 2025 State NE – 5’5 DS/L – Nebraska Juniors 15 Black
Ashby has specialized in middle-back defense and serve receive for Nebraska Juniors 15 Black this year. She can do it either in the libero jersey or as a primary defensive specialist, so she has already shown the ability to adapt to several different on-court roles.
Rya Borer Rya Borer 5'1" | DS/L Norris | 2025 State NE – 5’1 DS/L – Premier 15 Gold
Borer is another one of those no-brainer additions to the watch list after the year she has had for 15 Gold. She fits perfectly with the gritty defensive style of her club team, and Borer has been right in the middle of Premier’s solid performances against the top 15s talent in the nation.
Lainey Bosiljevac Lainey Bosiljevac 6'0" | MB Omaha Marian | 2025 State NE – 6’0 MB – Premier 15 Black
You’re going to see a lot of middle blocker additions in this latest update, and it’s quickly looking like one of the most stacked positions in Nebraska’s Class of 2025. Bosiljevac is certainly one to keep an eye on in this group, as she has been a terminal attacker in front of the setter for 15 Black.
Kendall Cose Kendall Cose 6'0" | RS Norris | 2025 State NE – 6’0 RS – Nebraska ONE 15 Synergy
Cose has been such a reliable attacker on the right pin for 15 Synergy, and she can also slide into the middle if needed. While her club team might be first recognized as a low-error, ball control-focused group, Cose provides the kind of physicality and firepower that helps her team compete with top teams from around the country.
Hailey Levinson Hailey Levinson 6'1" | MB Gretna East | 2025 State NE – 6’1 RS – Premeir 15 Black
15 Black is seemingly full of players that can succeed either at opposite or in the middle. Levinson is another one of those athletes, as her length makes her an imposing frontcourt player at just about any position.
Chloe Livingston Chloe Livingston 5'7" | OH Papillion-La Vista South | 2025 State NE – 5’6 OH – Premier 15 Gold
In the abundance of big matches that 15 Gold has played this year, Livingston has been a clutch player that the team can always lean on. She can handle first contact and go pass-to-attack with ease, making her a player that always seems to impact the game when she’s on the floor.
Paisley Piatkowski Paisley Piatkowski 5'11" | OH Elkhorn South | 2025 State NE – 5’10 OH/RS – Nebraska Elite 15 Mamba
Here’s an outside hitter who can put balls down on either pin. Not only does Piatkowski boast some nice range in the frontcourt, but her ball control skills have already evolved in this ongoing 2022 club campaign. Her role with 15 Mamba just keeps growing.
Alexandra Rasmussen Alexandra Rasmussen 6'4" | MB Lincoln East | 2025 State NE – 6’3 MB – VCNebraska 15 Black
Rasmussen is quickly emerging as a go-to attacker for VCN 15 Black. On a good pass, you want to set this physical hitter every time. She is also making big contributions in the blocking phase and brings a lot of energy with each roof at the net.
Julia Ringenberg Julia Ringenberg 5'9" | S Elkhorn South | 2025 State NE – 5’9 S – Nebraska Elite 15 Mamba
I love watching club teams that rally around their setter, and that seems to be the case with Nebraska Elite 15 Mamba and Ringenberg. This is a setter that’s not afraid to push a ball against the grain and find her hitters some one-on-one opportunities.
Natalie Wardlow Natalie Wardlow 6'5" | MB Lincoln Southeast | 2025 State #17 Nation NE – 6’4 MB – Nebraska ONE 15 Synergy
Adding Wardlow to our 2025 watch list was hardly a difficult decision. This talented middle blocker has had a dominant club campaign with 15 Synergy in 2022 and will get a chance to carry that momentum to the Nationals stage this summer.
