Pin Attackers Still Available In The Class Of ‘26

Commitments for college programs come from all angles. A high school senior could meet an NCAA transfer, an international player or even a home-grown junior college player looking to continue their career. Lucky for us, the depth of talent in the class of 2026 runs deep, and there are still plenty of athletes to pick from to play at the next level. Here are five kids, a few with unknown club ties, that can make a difference at the next level.    Need a big and physical pin attacker? Look no further than Bailey, who recently committed to play her final season at Gym Rats in the Fort Wayne area. More known as a strong right side player, she's listed as an outside on GRV's website, and could easily be a three-rotation attacker on either pin for any size of school. With broad shoulders to take up space on the block, a high attack point for an arm swing and a strong upper body capable of handling the workload of club ball, Bailey is much-needed size at a time when the game is getting bigger and faster.     Last club season, Samantha could be found as a right side on Academy's top squad in her age group. Her ability to let her size/athleticism combination take over as instinct served her well over the years, all at Academy. Her three-year varsity career had her amass 200+ kills and 100+ blocks, plus a coaching change that never had her break stride. This is a big, looking for an opportunity, that can make positive strides on whatever roster she finds.     As a recent 2A state champ and the Mental Attitude Award winner from this past fall for 2A, Addison is a solid six-rotation outside that has seemingly always been a starter for Barr-Reeve. From the Evansville area, she wrapped up this fall campaign with 1st Team All-State accolades in 2A, and has amassed 1300+ kills and 1100+ digs in her four-year career. Also a stud on the softball diamond, Addison is a multi sport star from southwest Indiana that can be a massive positive influence on any roster she lands.     Lithe and springy, Audrey has made the move to Circle for her final club season. Fully capable of being a six-rotation attacker at the small-college level, Miss Bassett has known nothing but open-level play in both her high school and club careers. She wrapped up her high school career as part of Westfield's best team ever, and filled the stat sheet in her years of service at Westfield. Although the majority of her high school six-rotation play was in her junior season, she's done it at an open level for club, and can be all things for a program looking to increase the talent level in the outside hitting group in college. With over 600 kills and 400 digs in her career as a Shamrock, she's got more than enough ability to terminate at the next level.     After 1000+ kills and 600+ digs for Cascade in her four-year high school career, Allie can be described as a compact and explosive six-rotation outside that knows no speed other than full speed when playing. Currently a member of the small club NUF, she'll stay local for most of her tournaments, making her that much more marketable for local schools looking for a six-rotation outside that is a legitimate gym rat.
