Colorado Volleyball: Big Time Commitments in the Class of 2028

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 is already making some big moves!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These four Colorado standouts have found their next homes and will be taking their games to the Division I level. Each brings something different to the court, from running an offense and controlling the back row to owning the net and putting up big swings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look at four big commitments from Colorado's Class of 2028.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='759692' first='Kennedy' last='Schmidt'] to University of Portland</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["759692"],"_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-6a8dcbbaab517"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://prepdig.com/2026/03/colorado-class-of-2028-setters-to-watch/" data-type="post" data-id="954945">Schmidt is heading to Portland</a>, and the Pilots are getting a setter who knows how to keep an offense moving. She has a good feel for tempo and does a nice job finding ways to get multiple hitters involved. However, her game does not stop once the ball leaves her hands. Schmidt competes defensively and stays involved throughout the rally, adding another layer to her game. She is a player who can handle a lot on the court, and it will be exciting to watch her continue developing before making the jump to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='821757' first='Aivah' last='King'] to UT San Antonio</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821757"],"_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-6a8dcbbaab589"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King is taking her game to UT San Antonio! Her length and reach make her a tough matchup at the net, especially when she gets herself up and over the block. She also brings experience after recording 195 kills with a .287 hitting percentage last high school season. King has already shown what she can do at the high school level, and now she has an exciting next chapter waiting in San Antonio. There is still <a href="https://prepdig.com/2026/08/top-5-middles-heading-back-to-4a/" data-type="post" data-id="1018167">another season</a> ahead, and plenty of time for her game to keep growing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='750208' first='Delaney' last='Lauer'] to Clemson University</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["750208"],"_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-6a8dcbbaab5d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lauer is Clemson bound! She brings a strong presence to the outside and has already shown that she can be a<a href="https://prepdig.com/2026/08/starting-strong-high-school-standouts-from-the-week/" data-type="post" data-id="1021456"> major offensive option</a>. She attacks with confidence, handles a big role, and continues to find ways to put pressure on the other side of the net. Her game has already made plenty of noise in Colorado, and now she has a big opportunity waiting at Clemson. There is still plenty of volleyball left before she heads to the ACC, but this commitment is a huge one for Lauer and Colorado volleyball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='809221' first='Sofia' last='Posada'] to Temple University</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["809221"],"_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-6a8dcbbaab699"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Temple is getting a tough one in Posada! She is <a href="https://prepdig.com/2026/03/colorado-class-of-2028-libero-dss-to-watch/" data-type="post" data-id="954811">quick, scrappy, and always ready </a>to make another play. Posada reads the game well and does a nice job putting herself in position before the attack even happens. She stays disciplined with her movement, reacts well off the block, and is ready when the ball takes an unexpected turn.Her serve receive is another part of her game that stands out. Posada stays steady and gives her team a reliable option on first contact. She knows how to extend rallies and refuses to make things easy for the other side.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Colorado Is Headed Everywhere</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schmidt, King, Lauer, and Posada are all taking their games in different directions, but each has earned an exciting opportunity at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations to all four athletes and their families! The Class of 2028 still has plenty of volleyball ahead, and these commitments are just another sign of the talent coming out of Colorado.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For more Colorado volleyball coverage, player features, recruiting content, and more, follow @prepdigcolorado on Instagram!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
