Kansas Leaderboard: 2026 Kansas Dig Leaders

I got thrown a curve ball this morning and slow-rolled my bat speed to knock it out of the park.   I planned to feature more setters in the class of 2026, but for some reason, the assist leaderboard was not working this morning on MaxPreps.   So I called an audible and will feature defensive wizards from the Kansas Class of 2026 who recorded at least 400 digs this fall.   This is not an all-inclusive list as some teams do not post public stats. Stats for this report were found on Max Preps. Also, I did not include athletes with missing information in their Max Preps profiles.
