Class of 2027 Players to Know Vol 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are so excited that the 2025-2026 club season is now underway.  There are some great storylines that have unfolded since the chaos of the summer club tryout season that took place.  This series of articles will be focusing on some amazing 2027 players that we think are going to have another stellar club season.  Let's meet a few of them who our scouts are excited to cover. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412438"],"_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-69557adbc94d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dakota is a high-energy libero in the class of 2027 whose impact is rooted in consistency, effort, and elite ball control. We have been following her closely since her freshman season and she has been elite in each match we have seen.  There is nothing that she cannot do at a very high level all over the court.  At 5'2”, she plays with a fearless mentality, using quick reactions and sharp anticipation to compensate for size. Huynh shows strong serve-receive fundamentals, maintaining a disciplined platform and delivering clean first contact against tough serving pressure. Defensively, she covers significant ground and consistently extends rallies with timely reads and controlled digs. Her ability to stay low, change direction quickly, and pursue balls outside her frame separates her from many peers at the position. She brings a steady presence to the back row, communicating effectively and helping organize defensive schemes. Competing with Skyline Juniors exposes her to fast-paced, physical play, sharpening her decision-making and execution. Huynh's motor never drops, and her willingness to embrace high-volume defensive roles stands out.  This is exactly why we have her ranked as the best libero in her grad class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443042"],"_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-69557adbc9587"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There are very many reasons why we have Miss Ebert ranked as the second best libero in her grad class.  She brings a calm, controlled presence to the back row in the class of 2027, consistently impacting play through discipline and reliability in regards to ball control. At 5'10”, she offers uncommon size for the libero role, allowing her to cover more court and take away angles with ease. Ebert's serve-receive is a strength, where her balanced platform and clean footwork lead to consistent first contact against aggressive servers. She reads the game well defensively, positioning herself early and making plays look routine through strong anticipation. Her length helps her extend for balls outside her frame, turning potential points into transition opportunities. Ebert communicates effectively and brings a steady leadership presence to the floor. She continues to grow more assertive in demanding responsibility in key rotations.  There is no doubt in my mind that Siena will be a complete game changer for Princeton when she steps on their campus in a few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["504026"],"_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-69557adbc9609"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miss Richard is a versatile and competitive prospect in the class of 2027 whose value lies in her ability to impact the match in multiple roles. At 5'9”, she brings a balanced frame and athleticism that translate well both as a setter and on the pins if need be. Dakota shows strong volleyball IQ, reading the game effectively and making smart decisions whether she is distributing or attacking.  We have loved seeing her stay calm in tough and tight situations at the Open level.  She is a true leader who can guide her squad to the next level.  As a setter, she delivers hittable balls with consistency and demonstrates comfort running offense in transition. When attacking, she plays with confidence and uses range and placement to score, particularly in broken plays. Defensively, she competes with energy and shows solid instincts in the back row.  Her adaptability gives coaches flexibility in system design and lineup construction. We know that she will star at Utah State when she arrives on campus to help lead their volleyball program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes.  If you have anyone you think we should watch out for, please shoot me an email with some info at <a href="mailto:Michael@prepdig.com">Michael@prepdig.com</a>.  Also don't forget to help these kids get more exposure by sharing our stories with your friends.  Help us help them by simply reposting on X or Instagram or sharing on Facebook.  Thanks for following Prep Dig Family!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
