Five Attackers Added to 2026 Rankings

Routh is our highest entry of newly ranked prospects in the 2026 class. The Lipscomb commit is a big factor for the Wolves on both sides of the ball. At over two kills per set, she helps balance there offense while leading them defensively at 4.0 blocks per contest. Her impact at the net is noticeable as she moves well around her setter to swing while using her athleticism and quickness to get up fast and take away space from opposing hitters. In their most recent two wins she had a total of 20 kills but, more impressively, led with 16 blocks.     At 13-5 overall, the Knights have a core trio of attackers that share the balance of offensive opportunities. Kinnell is one of those making a big impact at 3.0 k/s. At nearly 600 career kills, she is performing at a career best overall, which includes back-to-back efforts of 18 kills in their most recent two wins, both in five sets. Kinnell is 6'3 with great length at the net. She develops a big contact point by transitioning well off the net to create a deep runway in her approach pattern that develops momentum into a big swing.     Dooley has increased her impact and level of contribution overall for Carroll this season. Earning a career best 2.6 k/s in 2024, her efficiency is up to a career best .214. She is an effective attacker because she does the early work well in getting her feet to the ball and maximizing her contact point well in the air to swing with control and purpose. She also adds over six digs per match.     At 4.8 k/s, the 6'0 Dunmire is the Vikings' biggest offensive point scorer this season. She overwhelmingly has seen the most opportunity for her team and is handling it well given her .242 efficiency through the high volume of work. Scoring through different attack points, she uses her length well to get up and swing aggressively. Her size also benefits her defensively as she can put up a big block and develop range in the back row as she provides over 11 digs per match.     Just 5'7, Burton can play much bigger as a primary attacker for Colerain. She is athletic, gets off the floor well with good timing and rhythm, and can bring control and pace off her arm to be able to challenge bigger blockers in front of her well. She is averaging 2.3 k/s this season to go along with nearly six digs per match. Her experience competing for Tri-State during the club season has paid dividends in rounding out her skills as a passer and attacker as she can make an impact with her movement and control.
