Emerging Nebraska 2026s from Week 2 of Show Me

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You know I had to keep an eye on this one from afar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While I was helping out with national coverage at the Windy City Qualifier last weekend, more of Nebraska's standout 15s were competing in Kansas City for the second week of the Show Me Qualifier. Our focus for Week 2 shifted to the 15 Liberty and 15 American divisions, where we even had one Great Plains team swipe a bid with a Show Me championship. Read more about South Central NE 15 Black if you haven't already!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Of course, our discussion doesn't end with that title-winning bunch. We have more talented 2026s to cover. Let's give you a glimpse at a few athletes who stood out during the second weekend of KC action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["349410"],"_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":"We're starting to see the incredible depth of Nebraska's setters in the Class of 2026.
