<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our Class of <a href="https://prepdig.com/michigan/rankings/2026-rankings/">2026 Player Rankings</a> were updated this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This class is very potent and already racking up a lot of Division 1 college commitments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at what the setters have to offer in the Class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2026","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"32561","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"19892","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66d86c7c4a5eb"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Current Top 5</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1.</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226904' first='Emma' last='Keeping'], Imlay City/Michigan Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Already locked in with a Wake Forest commitment, Keeper still has a high ceiling for where she can take her talents. At 5'11”, Keeping runs a fast offense and does a good job of mixing herself into the action. She can be a powerful force offensively and defensively, and her decision making is top-level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2. [player_tooltip player_id='226907' first='Eva' last='Long'], Fenton/Legacy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Long has plenty of big-match experience and it has shown in her play. She never looks rattled or overwhelmed, even when competing against the best-of-the-best. Long is 5'11” and very athletic. She can make some great sets in the toughest situations and get the best of out her hitters. She's committed to N.C. State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3. [player_tooltip player_id='490335' first='Makayla' last='Bruman'], Imlay City/Michigan Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yes, two of the top three setters in the class come from Imlay City. Bruman is a 6-foot setter that also can be potent with her aggressiveness at the net. She hits the pins well and is getting better in her locations and tempo. She's going to be a great asset for a college program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4. [player_tooltip player_id='226936' first='Lexie' last='Stotenbur'], FH Northern/FaR Out</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The floor general for the Huskies, one of the top programs in Division 1, Stotenbur grew a lot in experience and confidence last year by playing along two of the best hitters in the state. This year, she's a veteran leader that is bringing the best out of young hitters and keeping the Huskies in the D1 race.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5. [player_tooltip player_id='226885' first='Allie' last='Davison'], Marian/Michigan Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davison took on a tough role in being the setter for Marian following one of the program's best, but she showed a lot of growth as a sophomore. She worked with a wide mix of hitters and got them playing their best at the end of 2023. Now, that experience has given her more confidence to take charge as an on-floor leader.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Others To Watch</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226890' first='Emma' last='Duffy'], Lakewood/FaR Out</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo player for Lakewood, Duffy can really do it all. She's a great leader on the court with precise setting, a technically sound attacker, and a polished defender. Whatever is needed of Duffy, she will find a way to get it accomplished.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='261199' first='Morgin' last='Parsley'], WL Northern/Legacy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parsley is another combo player that had a breakout season as a sophomore, playing multiple roles for the Knights. She's shown she's comfortable in high-pressure situations. Parsley can be a difference-maker as a setter or hitter, and gives her teams a lot of flexibility with the roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='481379' first='Rylie' last='Barriger'], Lowell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barriger is stepping up in a big way for the Red Arrows this year. Working with a lot of young hitters, Barriger is taking her varsity experience and helping multiple freshmen get caught up to speed quickly. Playing in a competitive area, Barriger is keeping Lowell right in the mix for top Grand Rapids-area teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226905' first='Delaney' last='Gilmore'], Brighton/L2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gilmore is another of the do-everything setters in this class. She's getting great swings out of her Brighton teammates when at setter, and putting down some impressive kills when on the pins. Gilmore has a great awareness on the floor and knows what it takes to finish a point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226935' first='Lucy' last='Stoll'], South Lyon/Michigan Elite</strong> Stoll has been a productive player for South Lyon in all phases. Her setting is polished, but she's also shown a lot of defensive ability while being a menace from the service line. Teams have not had an answer for her serve this year, and she keeps finding ways to push the Lions to some nice wins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
