2025: Emerging Stars

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2023-24 club season will be an exciting one for the class of 2025. Junior year is the big recruiting year, so we anticipate many college commitments over the next few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When updating our rankings, we have a chance to scout hundreds of athletes in Oregon. With this comes watching hours upon hours of film, and we always make note of players who impress us. Some of these athletes don't move up in the rankings significantly enough to warrant a spot in our "Stock Risers" series. Some of these athletes are more under-the-radar recruits we anticipate will make significant strides in their game. Whatever the scenario, we still feel these athletes mentioned below deserve an opportunity to be spotlighted on our site, which is why they have been coined an ‘emerging star.' They are poised to make major headway and see a significant amount of court time this club season. And all are worthy to be on your list to watch out for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248860"],"_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":"Brewer's rapid improvement to her game over the past year has been impressive to watch. Joining NPJ Portland 17-1 National this club season, I am eager to see her compete at a more elite level. The six-foot middle blocker relies on her quick arm swing and aggressive snap on the ball to rack up kills. When running a quick, she showcases a versatile attack by swinging to both the left and right sides of the court.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aeef303f468"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["249598"],"_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":"Comer had a breakout junior season as the starting libero for Oregon City, leading the team to a second-place finish in the 6A State tournament.

She exhibits athletic footwork and a soft touch on the ball. Also, her defense protecting right back is impressive.

A left-handed attacker, she thrives on the right side but can swing on the left pin as well.

She makes for a lethal attacker with some serious hang time, a quick arm, and great attacking range.
