These are athletes who show up with competitive energy, confidence in big moments, and the work ethic that makes them a fit anywhere.   We've watched them all year — from early-season tournaments to high-stakes conference matchups — and what stands out most isn't just their skill, but their presence. They each bring something different to the floor: placement, power, precision, and the kind of hustle that makes them impossible to overlook. When you step to their court and watch from the stands, you'll see why these outsides are built for the next level.    Watching [player_tooltip player_id='500965' first='Addison' last='Runge'] play, it's easy to see her command of the court. She reads defenses exceptionally well and uses smart placement to score in ways that don't always show up on highlight reels. Whether tooling off the block, rolling into open space, or finding deep corners, her court vision is advanced for her age.   Runge has the length and reach that make her a matchup problem at the net. She stays high on contact and delivers a clean, heavy swing that translates both in-system and in transition. Her ability to adjust to different tempos makes her a strong fit for college systems that run speed or spread sets.   Just as important, her on-court demeanor sets the tone for her team. She's steady in serve receive, vocal in coverage, and always engaged. Runge brings the full package — length, IQ, and a clear understanding of how to win rallies. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Prep Dig Player Profile: <a href="https://prepdig.com/player/addison-runge/">https://prepdig.com/player/addison-runge/</a>     Few players in the class hit a cleaner line shot than [player_tooltip player_id='506430' first='Alyssa' last='Revering']. She owns that zone — with a fast arm and fearless approach that keeps blockers guessing. What stands out most, though, is how confidently she executes it under pressure. Late in sets, she continues to attack the toughest angles, often threading the ball between the block and antenna with precision.   Revering's overall game has elevated this season. Her ability to pass consistently has allowed her to stay in all six rotations, and she brings energy that's contagious. She communicates constantly and reads the game well defensively, often starting key transition plays that swing momentum back in her team's favor.   When coaches look for a player who can terminate against size and still keep her first contact clean, Revering checks those boxes. She plays with intent — every approach, every swing has purpose — and that competitive focus makes her a standout among Minnesota's 2026 outsides. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Prep Dig Player Profile: <a href="https://prepdig.com/player/alyssa-revering/">https://prepdig.com/player/alyssa-revering/</a>     [player_tooltip player_id='522437' first='Ava' last='Johnson'] might not have the height of some of her peers, but she makes up for it with fast footwork, timing, and pure tenacity. She's a ball-control outside who can extend rallies and create offense from tough spots. Her defensive reads stand out — she anticipates tips, covers her hitters, and never stops moving.   Johnson's arm swing is efficient and repeatable, which helps her score against bigger blocks. She's not afraid to mix shots — high hands, sharp angles, or deep-corner placements — making her unpredictable and difficult to scout. Her transition speed allows her to be ready for the next ball faster than most players on the court.   What makes her special is her hustle and coachability. She's visibly engaged with feedback and implements adjustments right away. Johnson competes with grit and focus — the type of player who raises the level of those around her. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Prep Dig Player Profile: <a href="https://prepdig.com/player/ava-johnson-3/">https://prepdig.com/player/ava-johnson-3/</a>     When [player_tooltip player_id='492587' first='Alianne' last='Grelling'] attacks, she makes the block work. Her ability to hit with the block — using angles, hands, and deflections to her advantage — separates her from most outsides in her class. She thrives in pressure moments, finding creative ways to score even when the set isn't perfect.   Her timing at the net is polished, and she adjusts seamlessly between power and control. Whether swinging through the seam or tooling high, Grelling consistently finds a way to score. Her athleticism also shows up in back-row defense, where she reads hitters and moves fluidly through coverage lanes.   She brings a competitive presence that's hard to miss. You can feel her energy when she rotates to the front row — confident, composed, and always in attack mode. Grelling is the kind of outside who creates opportunities out of chaos, and that adaptability makes her a valuable future piece for college programs. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Prep Dig Player Profile: <a href="https://prepdig.com/player/alianne-grelling/">https://prepdig.com/player/alianne-grelling/</a>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thank you to all my readers for making this journey possible.
