8 Uncommitted Athletes in the 2026 Class

<p>While only six athletes from the 2026 class are committed, this class in is packed with talent, featuring standout athletes who have made their mark on the high school stage and are poised to elevate their game at the next level. Here's a closer look at some of the top uncommitted players in the state, each ready to make a significant impact wherever they land.<br></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pins</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Lambert is a strong outside who has a powerful swing and solid volleyball IQ. She has a fast transition and makes herself an available hitter even when the team is scrambling. She made the CHSAA All-State Second Team her junior high school season and earned multiple “Player of the Match” honors. She boasted a .311 hitting percentage and a whopping .471 kill percentage, putting her in the top ten for kills in the 5A division.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Betschart is a top recruit from the 2026 class. As a six-rotation outside, she is both a strong hitter and defender. She has a fast arm swing and isn't afraid to switch up her hits, often running 2's and back row attacks. As a defender, she reads well and isn't afraid to hit the floor. It's hard to put a ball down with her in the back row. Betschart earned a CHSAA All-State Honorable Mention her junior high school season. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Setters</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='738592' first='Kaiya' last='Gilbert'] received CHSAA All-State Honorable Mention following her junior high school season. She is a tall athletic setter/right side who has mastered the one-handed sets. She's also fairly aggressive, able to send balls over on the second contact and dropping them right over the net into the 4 area. She brings a lot of energy to the court and wrapped her junior season with 606 assists and 55 blocks. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Ulitzky is a quick setter who contacts the ball high and releases quickly, making it difficult for the opposing block to read. She does a great job utilizing all of her hitters, and finished her season with 674 assists. Ulitzky will play her 2025 club season with Colorado Momentum. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Middles</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Beuhler is only 5'10”, making her traditionally “undersized” for the middle position. However, her power and speed help make up for her height. She is fast in all senses of the word, her approach, her arm swing, and her blocking. She takes advantage of the entire net by running different hits and reads well when blocking. Beuhler wrapped up her junior season with a .455 kill percentage.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Lucero earned CHSAA All-State Honorable Mention following her sophomore and junior high school seasons, and is an absolute beast in the middle. She wrapped her junior season with a kill percentage of .412, and had 79 blocks putting her in the top 20 blockers in the 5A division. If Lucero can work on getting faster, she'll be unstoppable. </p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Liberos</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Staab had 438 digs her junior high school season, placing her 5th in the 5A division for digs. She does a great job reading her hitters and isn't afraid to step in front of other players to take a ball, a quality I love to see in liberos. She moves well around the court and stays ready while the ball is in play. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Blake barely trailed Staab in her junior season, finishing with 436 digs and placing 6th in the 5A division for digs. She reads well and is intentional with her movements, keeping her passing footwork simple and holding her platform through the pass. She does a great job covering her hitters and has great court awareness.</p>    <p></p>
