<p>Across the river and into the heart of Minnesota, the volleyball scene is on fire—and the Class of 2027 is leading the charge. These athletes aren't just players—they're commanders on the court, running offenses, reading defenses, and setting the tone with confidence and control. This is the big time for the 2027s—the moment they've been working toward. As June 15th approaches, they are proving to be ready to lead at the next level. Let's take a look at who's rising to the top.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Currently ranked as our No. 1 overall prospect and the top setter in her class, [player_tooltip player_id='453085' first='Kaelyn' last='Bjorklund'] is the definition of a floor general. With exceptional court vision, precise hands, and a fast-paced tempo, Kaelyn runs the offense with maturity well beyond her years. She consistently delivers clean, hittable balls from both serve-receive and transition, and is fearless in using the setter dump to keep blockers guessing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">What separates Kaelyn is her decision-making speed and ability to read blockers before the ball even crosses the net. Her leadership, vocal presence, and ability to energize her team make her a high-impact player every rotation. As June 15 approaches, college coaches should have this elite playmaker at the top of their call list.<strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='453086' first='Ellery' last='DeBoer'] continues to prove why she's one of the top players in Minnesota, currently ranked No. 2 overall and No. 2 at the setter position. A high-IQ distributor with smooth mechanics, Ellery runs a dynamic offense with tempo and precision. Her touch on the ball is clean, and she excels at delivering in-system sets from tight passes or out-of-system scrambles.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Already selected for the USA Volleyball NTDP (National Team Development Program), Ellery brings a next-level mentality to every play. She uses her court awareness to disguise sets, finds seams in the block, and isn't afraid to go for the setter dump to score points in transition.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">With her leadership, poise under pressure, and ability to control the pace of the game, Ellery is a setter that college coaches should have at the top of their list heading into June 15.<strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p>
