Class of 2028 Studs to Watch This Club Season Vol 1

<!-- 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 2028 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":["580658"],"_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-69546ca7bcd81"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='580658' first='Caitlin' last='Carrizales'] is one of the most reliable and technically sound defensive prospects in the Texas Class of 2028, consistently impacting matches with her composure and court awareness. At 5'6”, she has the size and speed to move all around the court with exceptional reading ability, clean first contact, and a motor that never shuts off. Carrizales shows advanced serve-receive mechanics for her age, maintaining platform discipline and balance even against aggressive servers. Defensively, she covers a ton of ground and demonstrates a natural feel for pursuit angles, allowing her to extend rallies and frustrate opposing hitters. Her ball control translates seamlessly into transition, giving her setters hittable options out of system. What stands out most is her competitive edge—she plays with confidence, communicates well, and embraces the responsibility that comes with the libero/DS role. As she continues to develop physically, Carrizales projects as a high-level back-row anchor with long-term upside at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["580689"],"_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-69546ca7bce2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='580689' first='Kyra' last='Bolden'] continues to establish herself as one of the more intriguing outside hitter prospects in the Texas Class of 2028, bringing a balanced blend of physicality and skill to the pin. At 5'11”, she already presents good length and frame, allowing her to attack with range and score through the block at the elite level. Bolden shows confidence swinging in transition and has the arm speed to terminate when given space, particularly on high balls to the left side. Her footwork and timing are improving, leading to more consistent contact and cleaner attacking windows. In serve receive, she demonstrates growing stability and a willingness to take responsibility in key rotations. Defensively, she reads well and competes hard, contributing beyond just her offensive output. With continued strength development and refinement, Bolden projects as a complete six-rotation outside with a ceiling that will continue to rise over the next few recruiting cycles. I think she will have one breakout year that entices all college coaches to make their way to her court. If you don't know her name yet, I think you will after this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["512953"],"_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-69546ca7bceb0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='512953' first='Trynity' last='Alsaid'] is a versatile prospect in the Texas Class of 2028 who brings a unique blend of athleticism and court IQ to the setter/right-side role. At 5'10”, she offers good size for a young setter while also providing a legitimate attacking threat when moved to the right side. Alsaid runs an efficient offense, showing clean hands and the ability to deliver hittable balls from multiple platforms. She displays poise beyond her age, making smart decisions in transition and maintaining tempo even when systems break down. As an attacker, she is aggressive at the net and uses her length well to score against smaller blocks. Defensively, she competes with purpose and shows solid instincts in the back row. With continued development in consistency and physical strength, Alsaid projects as a high-upside hybrid player who can impact matches in multiple roles at the next level. Her skill-set translates very well to the next level and I would be surprised if she doesn't get picked up soon by a big 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 -->
