<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We never forget about the defensive specialists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our coverage of the <a href="https://prepdig.com/nebraska/rankings/2027-rankings/">Nebraska 2027</a> new additions has taken a position-by-position approach. We've already introduced several <a href="https://prepdig.com/2025/05/new-setters-to-watch-in-updated-nebraska-2027-rankings/">setters</a>, <a href="https://prepdig.com/2025/05/new-pin-hitters-to-watch-in-updated-nebraska-2027-rankings/">pin hitters</a>, and <a href="https://prepdig.com/2025/05/new-middle-blockers-to-watch-in-updated-nebraska-2027-rankings/">middle blockers</a> who are making their debut in our database. That leaves us with liberos—one of Nebraska's most exciting groups in the Class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep close tabs on the next wave of upperclassman stars in the backcourt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773342"],"_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-681f854bc9071"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As mentioned in previous features, it was only a matter of time until Monjarez-Palermo joined the 2027 rankings. This Club Legacy standout has been a defensive force for 16 Alpha and has helped the team's attackers thrive. Monjarez-Palermo is an unflappable passer and makes exceptional defensive reads to generate transition opportunities. 16 Alpha's exceptional track record this season would not be possible without a bit of ball-control prowess.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["728939"],"_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-681f854bc90db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Why not double down on 16 Alpha's backcourt excellence. Hadan has paired perfectly with Monjarez-Palermo along the end line and churns out amazing defensive saves in any zone. This small-town standout is building off a colossal sophomore campaign in which she racked up over 450 digs for Arlington High School. Expect Hadan to rise to the top of Nebraska's dig leaderboard this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773350"],"_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-681f854bc9123"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We couldn't leave out Kearney Elite 16-1's featured defender. Cochran's reliable platform has contributed to Kearney Elite's meteoric rise in the Great Plains Region. Aside from her ability to lock down first touches and help her setter, Cochran is an extraordinary leader who gels well with her year-round teammates. High-level experience from spring competitions should lead to more breakthroughs at Kearney High School this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["762193"],"_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-681f854bc9169"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Premier Nebraska gets on the board with one of its up-and-coming defenders on the 16 Silver roster. Nauenburg has slotted into several different DS roles in 16 Silver's adaptive lineup, allowing us to see this Norris sophomore's range and versatility. She has made big strides as a middle-back defender and is keen on sealing seams in serve-receive. Nauenberg found her groove as 16 Silver endured a late-season qualifier gauntlet, so she'll be well prepared for the next step on the prep stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773457"],"_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-681f854bc91ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This Cedar Bluffs-Fremont VBC pipeline is something to behold. We were eager to add Bequette to our list and increase our representation in the northeastern Nebraska corridor. Bequette was a productive libero last fall and has brought the same energy to Fremont VBC's top 16s group. There is some major stock-riser potential in the Fremont VBC gym, and Bequette could make that climb soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773392"],"_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-681f854bc91ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nebraska Elite's widespread 16s success gave us plenty of names for our watch list. Parnell joins the crew after some tremendous showings with Nebraska Elite 16 Ohana. Her relentless pursuit led to several highlight plays on the qualifier circuit, and 16 Ohana cashed in on that effort. Parnell and her squad made several deep qualifier runs and has gained positive momentum heading into the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["730526"],"_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-681f854bc9231"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We also have to give a nod to Nebraska Elite 16 Ignite as we expand our reach with this Omaha-area club. Myers has anchored the end line for this group, exhibiting a wide range of skills in the contrasting jersey. She is not afraid to use her hands to take care of tough serves and deliver the ball right on the setter's head. Myers will also step up to deliver precise second contacts in out-of-system situations. This year's fall season at Omaha Westview should be another vital litmus test for Myers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

We never forget about the defensive specialists.
