PrepDig Class of 2028 Rankings Update: 5 New Additions Making Noise   The PrepDig Class of 2028 rankings just expanded past 130 talented prospects, and with each update, the landscape of Florida volleyball evolves a little more. This latest release brings a fresh wave of rising standouts—athletes whose skill sets, court awareness, and competitive maturity reveal early signs of long-term impact. As the sport continues to speed up and recruiting circles start tracking potential difference-makers earlier each year, these new additions prove that the Class of 2028 is loaded with emerging precision, power, and poise.   In this feature, we spotlight five newcomers whose games are already shaping conversations. Their speed of adaptation, technical refinement, and volleyball IQ set them apart, and as we transition into deeper evaluations, each athlete demonstrates why this class is fast becoming one of the most exciting groups to watch.    Attacker & Blocker With High-Level Instincts   Kendall Youman steps into the rankings with the type of versatility coaches dream about. To start, she transitions off the net with urgency, consistently making herself an unavailable attack option for blockers who struggle to read her timing. Moreover, her approach is sharp and aggressive, allowing her to elevate into swings that challenge defenders at every angle.   As the play continues, Kendall's athletic movement along the net becomes even more evident. She closes blocks with speed, penetrates well into opponents' attack space, and rapidly adjusts her swing path mid-air—turning balls into seams, corners, or whatever patch of open court she finds. With instincts that sharpen each rally, Kendall's presence alone changes how teams prepare.~Sophia Jeanpierre @prepdig_fl     Craft, Calm, and Deceptive Creativity   [player_tooltip player_id='788870' first='Jordan' last='Molnar'] enters the rankings with a release that is nothing short of captivating. Her transition from base is remarkably efficient, and she avoids early movement, creating unpredictable timing for blockers. Once the ball is in hand, she ascends into a third-story extension that uses more wrist finesse than elbow force, giving her attackers hittable windows even in chaos.   Beyond her setting, Jordan showcases a fearless scoring mentality. She is fully capable of attacking on the second contact, using deceptive dumps to exploit soft spots in the defense. Meanwhile, she holds her own defensively by staying low and balanced, and on the block, she creates a formidable presence on the pin. Her calm decision-making paired with her creativity is what makes her addition stand out.~Sophia Jeanpierre @prepdig_fl     Poised Playmaker With Elite Setter IQ   [player_tooltip player_id='892525' first='Harper' last='Whitaker'] joins the rankings with a polished skill set built around poise and setter intelligence. She consistently squares up to off-net passes, allowing her to deliver clean, in-window balls that keep an offense in rhythm. As rallies extend, her ability to change direction—and even work against the grain—freezes opposing blockers, creating repeated one-on-one situations for her hitters.   Furthermore, Harper's composure under pressure enhances every possession. She finds quick resets, leans into a diverse tempo toolbox, with maturity that stretches beyond her age group. Her IQ is already shaping the potential of the teams she leads, making her one of the most exciting new additions in this update.~Sophia Jeanpierre @prepdig_fl     Mechanics & Growing Power   [player_tooltip player_id='880406' first='Mila' last='Poteralski']'s entry into the rankings comes with impressive mechanical precision. She uses her entire body to send the ball pin-to-pin, maximizing both strength and consistency in the process. Currently operating from a solid second-story release to full extension, Mila is rapidly progressing toward a higher-tier third-story delivery—an evolution that will elevate her tempo options significantly.   Her strength becomes especially noticeable when she delivers to the pins. She places balls into hittable windows that allow attackers to remain aggressive, even in tight situations. With efficiency that improves every game, Mila's trajectory points upward with confidence.~Sophia Jeanpierre @prepdig_fl     Hustle, Tempo, and Out-of-System Firepower   Dahlia Santana rounds out this group with unmatched energy and mobility. Her athleticism shines as she covers ground quickly, ensuring she remains an available option even when the play breaks down. In out-of-system transitions, she positions herself effectively to deliver hittable balls or take swings of her own.   Additionally, Dahlia reads overpasses exceptionally well, attacking with intent and converting loose balls into instant kills. Her approach is quick, aggressive, and paired with a tempo swing that forces defenses to react late. With a combination of hustle and grit, Dahlia is primed to make significant strides throughout her development. ~Sophia Jeanpierre @prepdig_fl    As the Class of 2028 continues expanding past 130+ ranked prospects, the addition of Kendall Youman, [player_tooltip player_id='788870' first='Jordan' last='Molnar'], [player_tooltip player_id='892525' first='Harper' last='Whitaker'], [player_tooltip player_id='880406' first='Mila' last='Poteralski'], and Dahlia Santana reflects the strength—and depth—of this rising generation. Each athlete brings a distinct style, showcasing everything from setter intelligence and deceptive creativity to attacking versatility and high-tempo hustle.   Ultimately, updates like this remind us why early scouting matters: behind every ranking is an athlete grinding for growth, sharpening technical habits, and preparing to impact the game in bigger ways. With talent emerging this quickly, the future of Florida volleyball—and national competition—looks brighter than ever.
