Beloit has a winning volleyball program and they have a sure-fire DI prospect in middle hitter Addison Budke Addison Budke 6'0" | OH Beloit | 2025 State KS .
Here is a look at four prospects from Beloit.
Addison Budke Addison Budke 6'0" | OH Beloit | 2025 State KS , 6’0”, MH, ‘25
Budke is just a junior, but she might be the best junior in the state. This young lady is the complete package. She has size, strong upper body strength, a fluid swing, and a big vertical. She dominated the match against Smoky Valley. She finished with 25 kills and three digs. If she touches the ball – chances are it’s going to bounce off the court on the other side of the net. The Wildcats, Jayhawks, and Shockers should be all-in on this Kansas Prospect. If a DII school gets her on campus and she falls in love it with, it would be a huge recruitment steal. If she goes out of state to play tears will be shed all over the Sunflower State.
Mylie Brown Mylie Brown 5'9" | OH Beloit | 2024 State KS , 5’9”, S/OH, ‘24
Brown is a solid all-around athlete who it sounds like will shortly commit to an in-state DII program. She has posted numbers of 12 kills, 12 serve receptions, six digs, and three aces against the Smoky Valley Vikings. She is quick and is a glider when she gets air.
Sophia Thompson Sophia Thompson 6'1" | MB Beloit | 2025 State KS , 6’1”,MB, ‘25
Thompson had a nice one-on-one matchup at the net at times with SVHS middle Katja Blanchat Katja Blanchat 6'0" | MB Smoky Valley | 2025 State KS . Thompson is a physical middle who can also set. She finished with five kills and three blocks in the win over the Vikings.
Kailyn Follis Kailyn Follis 5'4" | DS/L Beloit | 2025 State KS , 5’5”, L, ‘25
Follis is a quick libero who has a smooth defensive game. She gets overlooked because of all the hitting power on the Trojans, but she can flat-out play and make consistent first passes. Follis finished the match against Smoky Valley with 8 digs and 19 serve receptions.
