Below are some standout 2027 Minnesota athletes who have committed to Division II programs throughout Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Michigan. We can't wait to see them compete on the collegiate stage but first, they have one more high school season to leave their mark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Remember to follow me on Instagram @Prepdigamy and Facebook @PrepDig Amy for up to date event coverage, stories, and more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["396877"],"_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-6a513d78602bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christ, a standout libero for Northern Lights, will stay in Minnesota and continue her volleyball career at Mankato. After wrapping up her senior season at Chaska, she will bring her defensive skills, consistency, and court awareness to the next level with the Mavericks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["509921"],"_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-6a513d78602fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Outside pin and defensive dynamo Inman is also staying home in Minnesota, taking her talents to St. Cloud. The Huskies have built a talented and competitive program and Inman's athleticism, versatility, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways will make her a valuable addition. Before making the transition to the collegiate level, she will first finish her senior season at Champlin Park, where she will look to leave her mark on another successful year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["738970"],"_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-6a513d7860321"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Telander has found success at both the high school and club levels, and soon be heading off to play in college. The fiery pin is staying local in Minnesota, where she will bring her talents to Bemidji State. Before making the transition to the collegiate level, Telander will look to help lead her team on another deep playoff run as they chase an opportunity to compete for the AA state title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["509922"],"_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-6a513d7860343"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have always been a big Quam fan so I was excited to see her commit to Northern Michigan. The versatile middle/right side is expected to make a big immediate impact at the next level with her athleticism, offensive ability, and presence at the net. Before making the transition to college, I can't wait to see her continue to rack up kills and blocks during her final high school season with Maple Grove.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["507499"],"_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-6a513d7860364"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I stumbled upon Schulz early in her career with [program_tooltip program_id='429186' first='Kandi' last='Elite'] and knew she was destined to play at the next level. The versatile, lefty setter made an early commitment to the University of Sioux Falls, and we can't wait to see her make an impact on the court. Before she heads to college, we get one more season to watch her run the offense at Minnewaska, where the Lakers are hungry to make another deep postseason run. After an incredible 28-1 season last year that ended with a heartbreaking loss in the section playoffs, Minnewaska returns with plenty of motivation and the ability to get to the state tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["492607"],"_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-6a513d7860384"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hartwick is another fierce lefty that I can't wait to see compete in college. Staying in Minnesota, she will head to Marshall to continue her athletic and academic career at Southwest Minnesota State University in the highly competitive NSIC conference. Known for her competitiveness and ability to create offense from the right pin, Hartwick will be a valuable asset. Before making that transition, we will get one more season to watch her rack up kills at Duluth East.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
