Nebraska’s Standout 2027 Pin Hitters from President’s Day Classic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We'll have no shortage of options for this one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our Class of 2027 rankings still need a lot of tweaks, additions, and updates. This is an ideal time to plan those changes with a wealth of high-level competitions happening almost every weekend. Omaha's President's Day Classic raised the standard even further, and we've come away with so many names for our recruiting radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If your radar needs some pin hitters, this is the place to be. We're examining some Nebraska attackers who boosted their stock over the holiday weekend. Paring this list down was a challenge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521212"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c0f59105bf1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nebraska Elite 16 Apex was looking for new leadership on the left side this season, and Brown has stepped in to fill the void. She has an uncanny ability to exploit attacking lines on the left side, but this multi-talented athlete does so much more for 16 Apex. Brown is also one of the team's leading passers and remains a six-rotation mainstay in the starting lineup. These diverse contributions helped spark an impressive podium finish in the 16 Open division--an ideal buildup toward upcoming qualifiers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["487050"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c0f59105c52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duncan fits the all-around mold of many other exceptional outside hitters at [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs']. We got a good look at Duncan's attacking range and passing skills when she appeared on last year's Prep Dig Circuit. She has now applied that versatile skillset to [program_tooltip program_id='428728' first='River' last='City Jrs'] 16 Navy, which challenged itself in Omaha's 16 Open division. The President's Day grind will prepare Duncan and her squad for more breakthroughs in the Great Plains scene.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521219"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c0f59105c97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mumford can do it all. We've seen her shine in a backcourt role in past seasons, but she's a full-fledged outside hitter for this Nebraska Elite 16 Surge squad. Mumford's explosive approach allows her to elevate over opposing blockers and find small gaps in the defense. This dynamic athlete was especially strong at working just inside the antenna and finding daylight down the line. A runner-up finish in Omaha has Mumford and her team looking forward to the next big challenge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["458125"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c0f59105cd7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We can't say enough about Club Legacy 16 Alpha's balanced effort en route to an undefeated 16 Club run. Even balanced teams need a strong focal point in the front row, and Snyder has consistently been that player for 16 Alpha. The Omaha Concordia sophomore has been steadily climbing our rankings since her freshman year, and now she has logged another extraordinary outing on the club side. Her power and placement carved up defenses throughout the weekend--even when Snyder was in the back row. We're eager to see how this translates to the next wave of mid-season events.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521263"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c0f59105d16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jensen has made a strong case to join our 2027 rankings after her Omaha performance. She racked up kills at an incredible rate and produced some wicked shots when [program_tooltip program_id='428717' first='Nebraska' last='ONE'] 16 Lime needed them most. Jensen's favorite shot is the hard crosscourt drive that leaves defenders with little chance to make a controlled dig. This Lincoln North Star sophomore will have some serious momentum heading into March.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521175"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c0f59105d53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is a great chance to catch up with Johnson, an unquestioned leader in the Premier Nebraska 16 Red frontcourt. We have fond memories of Johnson's prior reps as a setter-opposite hybrid. Her high-impact attacking reached a new level in Omaha, where 16 Red constantly leaned on Johnson to produce key side-outs. Premier Nebraska and Papio South have built dynasties behind versatile athletes like Johnson.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["498996"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c0f59105d8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nebraska Juniors 16 Black has seemingly infinite options in the front row. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have this Ogallala standout as a go-to option in any situation. Ervin has found her niche at the opposite position and is playing some of her best volleyball in the Nebraska Juniors gym. This high-flying lefty can score on the right, on the 2-ball in the middle, or even on the left side in first-ball situations. 16 Black makes a concerted effort to get Ervin the ball, especially during the team's five-match winning streak in Omaha.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
