High Level ‘Bros on the 2026 Watchlist

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The liberos on this watchlist run deep. We have 17 on the watchlist, and I know there are many more out there we haven't had the opportunity to see play yet. Some of these liberos have contributed at the varsity level for their high schools; others have emerged during club seasons or at the Top 250 Expo. Here are some of the must-see liberos in the class of 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249681"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Riley is a lights out libero.
