USA Jr Nationals Pre-Tourney Showcase Players to Watch Vol 10

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are a month away from the culmination of the club season…USA Jr Nationals, which will be held in Chicago at the end of June and early July.&nbsp; Prep Dig has once again renewed our partnership with USA Volleyball to run the Pre-Tournament Showcase the day before the tourney starts.&nbsp; It will be held at the McCormick Place Convention Center where the tourney is being held.&nbsp; We are going to be previewing some of the players who have signed up to participate.&nbsp; The one aspect that sets our showcases apart from every other one in the country is how we offer coverage, before, during, and after it is completed.&nbsp; Without further ado, here are a few players who you should be watching at the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='318201' first='Mya' last='Cheatum'] [2026] 5-10 Outside (HS: Cedar Park/Club: Austin Juniors/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mya is currently ranked as the 60^th best overall prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Cedar Park High School and also plays club for Austin Juniors.&nbsp; Miss Cheatum has been the main point scorer for her club team this season.&nbsp; I was first introduced to her a the very first tournament of the year and was thoroughly impressed with her jumping ability and also her knack for scoring from any location on the court.&nbsp; She has an uncanny ability to create some serious top spin on the ball with amazing hand contact and a great wrist snap.&nbsp; She plays six rotations and can dig/pass just like a libero.&nbsp; Her ball control in server receive is definitely elite and keeps her team in system often.&nbsp; As an attacker from the left side, this young lady rises up off of the ground so effortlessly and has great hang-time.&nbsp; It is very difficult for opposing blockers to stay in front of her due to that hang-time.&nbsp; She will showcase very well for the scouts that will be on hand to watch.&nbsp; Stay tuned for more on Miss Cheatum!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wynn Eaton&nbsp;[2026] 5-9 Setter (HS: St. John's College/Club: East Coast Power/Verbal: Uncommitted)&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wynn is currently an unranked prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at St. Johns College High School and club for East Coast Power Chesapeake.&nbsp; When I watch Miss Eaton play the setter position, I am reminded of those rare players who can truly do it all on the court.&nbsp; Her team can count on her to keep them in the rally in many ways.&nbsp; When she is in the front row, she often doubles as a hitter.&nbsp; When in the back row, she stifles the opposing team with a killer serve, can dig anything out of the right back zone, and distributes the ball with the best of them.&nbsp; As a setter, the ball comes out of her hands so smoothly and fast.&nbsp; She uses a lot of lift in her pin sets and this gives her hitters so much time to attack.&nbsp; Even when she is on the move tracking down a pass, the ball is able to find its location with ease due to her hand contact and solid release.&nbsp; We are looking forward to watching her in action at the showcase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ashtyn Werth&nbsp;[2026] 5-6 Libero (HS: Rockwall/Club: [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last='']' last='']/Verbal: Uncommitted)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ashtyn is currently an unranked prospect in the 2026 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Rockwall High School and club for [program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='[program_tooltip program_id='431200' first='Madfrog' last='']' last='']' last=''].&nbsp; Miss Werth is a solid libero who shows a lot of promise while digging out of middle back.&nbsp; She is not afraid to go to the floor if needed and can dig balls well beyond her reach with an extended lunge.&nbsp; I love how easy it is for her to collapse her entire body to absorb hard driven balls.&nbsp; This keeps the ball on her squad's side to run some offense.&nbsp; She always keeps her head on a swivel for any emergency situations that occur.&nbsp; Ashtyn also covers all of her hitters very well during hitter coverage and it truly adds to her team's success.&nbsp; The most impressive aspect of her game is how quiet her platform is while the ball is contacting it.&nbsp; This will keep her relevant to any team she is on for sure.&nbsp; She understands how important it is to not swing her arms prior to or at the point of contact.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes that will be attending the showcase.&nbsp;
