<p>The pins at the Prep Dig x USAV Showcase Session 1 were simply impressive. They went big, had huge talent, and massive swings. I also loved seeing how dynamic so many of the athletes were. I saw them taking swings out of the middle, playing stellar defense, and really solid serve receive.</p>
<p>Here are some powerhouse pins that impressed!</p>
<h3>Caydence Doolan – Liberty Elite Volleyball Club 15N – 2026 – Maryland</h3>
<p>Caydence had a huge vertical and high snap on the ball. She was effective and played at an impressive level for her age. She was a fun athlete to watch throughout the showcase and was a pin who caught my eye early in the evening. </p>
<h3>Ceci Vance – ARVC 15N1 – 2025 – New Mexico</h3>
<p>Ceci was super impressive. She was gritty, fast, and explosive. She could make a good play on nearly any ball she was given. Ceci swung well across the net and had a huge vertical and crazy strong arm swing. She pounded some balls, even with a huge block up.</p>
<h3>Natalia Silva – 15 SA Magic Elite – 2025 – Texas</h3>
<p>Natalia had a huge vertical and an even bigger swing. She could hit great shots with a lot of power on them. Her ability to rip a ball cross court one point and do a quick push deep line the next was impressive.</p>
<h3>[player_tooltip player_id="192614" first="Gracie" last="Furlong"] – Six Pack 15U – 2025 – Iowa</h3>
<p>Gracie is an athlete to watch out of this incredibly strong volleyball region. She is offensively super strong and has a massive approach and swing. She can manufacture points both in and out of system. She is also great in transition and is a high-level defender as well.</p>
<h3>Chloe Johnson – Flyers 15 APX-Ed – 2025 – Texas</h3>
<p>Chloe takes a huge approach. From her first step you know she is going to put up a big point, and she absolutely delivers. She plays at an incredibly high level and has a high powerful snap. I saw her power through some very solid blocks throughout the night at the showcase.</p>
<h3>Sadie Reich – Sportime 15 Gold – 2025 – New York</h3>
<p>Sadie has a great swing and consistent, solid contact with the ball. She had a great court presence and a high volleyball IQ. Sadie is very well-rounded as an athlete and really impressed me throughout the showcase.</p>
<h3>Britton Finley – Frisco Flyers - 2025 – Texas</h3>
<p>Britton has HUGE power. She is absolutely a powerhouse hitter and I am sure manufactures points on every court she is on. She has a big presence on the court and is a very smart player. She can swing over and through big blocks and had a huge impact at the showcase.</p>
<h3>Isabelle Swain – Princeton Volleyball – 2025 – New Jersey</h3>
<p>Isabelle impressed me because she was willing to play anywhere. At one point a court was short a middle and she didn’t even hesitate to hop in. She played solid in the back row and had an explosive approach. I saw her swing well on both pins as well. She is very dynamic in her skills and can play nearly anywhere on the court.</p>
<h3>Ella Coleman – Alamo 15P – 2025 – Texas</h3>
<p>Don’t overpass on Ella. I saw her rip a ball nearly straight down on an overpass. Wow! She also was just solid all around. She was very offensively strong but was great on defense and serve receive as well.</p>
