These athletes have separated themselves through performance, consistency, and the ability to impact matches well beyond their age.   What stands out with this group is readiness. They understand their roles, embrace responsibility, and compete with a maturity that translates to the next level. Whether it's handling high-volume swings, controlling first contact, or running an offense under pressure, these players are already showing skills college coaches value early in the recruiting process.   This is the window where relationships begin, evaluations deepen, and recruiting boards start to take shape. The Top 10 in North Dakota's Class of 2028 isn't about projection alone—it's about production and trajectory. College coaches should be paying attention now.    Reagan Trudel checks in as the No. 6 overall prospect and the No. 2 setter in North Dakota's Class of 2028, and she has already established herself as a true floor general. Reaching the 1,000-assist milestone as a freshman is a rare accomplishment, and it speaks to both her consistency and her ability to run an offense at a high volume. Reagan delivers a clean, hittable ball with strong location, keeps tempo steady, and understands how to distribute based on matchups rather than forcing one option.   This season, her growth has been evident in how she commands the court. Reagan controls pace, communicates constantly, and brings structure to the offense even when passes break down. Her footwork into release is efficient, allowing her to stay balanced and on time, and she shows advanced decision-making when reading blockers and adjusting sets to keep hitters in rhythm.   What truly elevates Reagan is her work ethic and leadership. She sets the tone in practice, leads vocally on the floor, and plays with confidence that steadies everyone around her. College coaches should be paying close attention—Reagan Trudel is a setter who already understands how to lead an offense, manage a match, and raise the level of play of those around her. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/23660714/Reagan-Trudell/highlights">https://www.hudl.com/profile/23660714/Reagan-Trudell/highlights</a>     [player_tooltip player_id='727985' first='Taylor' last='Sanders'] comes in as the No. 7 overall prospect and the No. 4 outside hitter in North Dakota's Class of 2028, and her value shows up in every rotation. She is a true six-rotation outside who impacts matches with both volume and toughness. Reaching the 1,000-dig milestone already highlights her defensive range, commitment to first contact, and willingness to do the work that keeps teams in system.   From the pin, Taylor brings physicality and competitiveness, staying aggressive through long rallies and continuing to challenge blocks. She transitions well from defense to offense, maintains strong court awareness, and plays with a high motor that never fades. Her ability to stay engaged on both sides of the ball makes her a dependable presence coaches can leave on the floor in all situations.   College coaches should prioritize seeing Taylor this club season. Her six-rotation reliability, defensive production, and competitive edge translate well to the next level, and her continued growth offensively makes her a player whose impact is only trending upward. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Highlights: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Sbu6K">http://www.hudl.com/v/2Sbu6K</a>     [player_tooltip player_id='728653' first='Gretchen' last='Snowden'] checks in as the No. 8 overall prospect and the No. 2 libero in North Dakota's Class of 2028, and she brings a complete, high-level skill set to the back row. Technically, she is advanced for her age—her platform is quiet and consistent, her angles are intentional, and she does an excellent job absorbing pace to deliver clean first contact. Defensively, Gretchen reads hitters early, moves efficiently, and covers a large amount of court with disciplined footwork and quick first steps.   What elevates her game even further is how she pairs those skills with leadership and competitiveness. She communicates constantly in serve receive, organizes the back court, and brings a calm confidence that steadies her teammates. Her coachability stands out in real time—she listens, adjusts, and immediately applies feedback, which allows her to continue tightening her positioning and reads as matches progress.   Gretchen's energy is contagious. She competes on every rally, celebrates teammates' success, and raises the intensity of the gym both on and off the court. When college coaches watch her, they see more than a skilled libero—they see a player who can anchor a defense and elevate a program's culture. Get to [player_tooltip player_id='728653' first='Gretchen' last='Snowden']'s court this season. She's the type of back-row player you build around. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/22867840/691a6474a716d2aed3c33da2">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/22867840/691a6474a716d2aed3c33da2</a>     [player_tooltip player_id='809431' first='Ruby' last='Hawley'] comes in as the No. 9 overall prospect and the No. 3 libero in North Dakota's Class of 2028, and her rise over a short period of time has been one of the most impressive developments we've tracked. She first landed on the radar early in her high school season, and from that point forward, her game took off. Each evaluation showed noticeable improvement—cleaner reads, stronger first contact, and a growing confidence in the back row.   Ruby's defensive instincts stand out. She tracks hitters well, stays patient through approaches, and puts herself in position to make plays that extend rallies. Her platform control continues to tighten, allowing her to deliver consistent serve-receive passes and keep the offense in rhythm. What's most exciting is how quickly she processes the game—she adjusts within matches and learns fast, a trait that translates well to the college level.   Still only a sophomore, Ruby already shows the foundational tools college coaches look for in a libero: reliability, anticipation, and composure under pressure. This upcoming club season is a critical window to see her continued growth, and it's one coaches should not miss. [player_tooltip player_id='809431' first='Ruby' last='Hawley'] has the pieces to play at the next level—and this season will show just how high her ceiling is. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/20086158/690e6405c47b2257b010cb9c">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/20086158/690e6405c47b2257b010cb9c</a>     [player_tooltip player_id='836921' first='Piper' last='Feller'] rounds out the Top 10 as the No. 10 overall prospect and the No. 5 outside hitter in North Dakota's Class of 2028, and she may be one of the most exciting athletes in this group. First identified at a tournament setting, Piper never left the radar—she made noise all season long and continued to elevate her game with every evaluation. If there's a definition of a hidden gem, this is it.   Listed at 5'6”, Piper immediately challenges expectations. Her vertical is explosive, allowing her to play well above her size, and her explosion off the floor creates real terminal ability from the pin. What truly stops you mid-rally is her arm speed—it's fast, compact, and powerful. The ball comes off her hand with pace, and she has the ability to score cleanly even against a formed block. It's the kind of swing that doesn't match the measurables on paper.   Beyond the offense, Piper is a true six-rotation outside. She stays involved in serve receive, defends with urgency, and transitions quickly from defense to attack. Her motor never drops, and she competes with confidence every time she steps on the court. College coaches looking for a dynamic outside with bounce, speed, and fearless competitiveness need to get eyes on Piper this season—she's a matchup problem you don't want to miss. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas   Highlights: <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2T5rcL">http://www.hudl.com/v/2T5rcL</a>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Thank you to all my readers for making this journey possible.
