Big-Time Commitments: Colorado’s Class of 2027

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The next chapter is here for several Colorado volleyball standouts! These athletes have put in the work on the high school court. Now, they are ready for the college game. Each player brings a different skill set to the next level. From big swings to defensive versatility, this group has plenty to offer!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Addison Jones | MB | Idaho State</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["532762"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acbcda938d19"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones is officially headed to Idaho State! The athletic middle brings plenty of potential to the Bengals' front row. Jones has a quick presence at the net. She can move across the court and close space in a hurry. That movement gives her options against different attackers. She also brings the physical tools to make an impact above the net. Now, she will get the chance to keep building those skills at the college level. We are excited to see Jones bring her game to Idaho State!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jayda Nothdurft | OH | Montana State</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734491"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acbcda938d5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nothdurft is taking her powerful attack to Montana State! The 6'0" outside hitter brings a smooth approach and plenty of speed. She gets into her attack quickly and can rise above the block. Her arm speed is another big part of her game. When Nothdurft gets rolling, she can put serious pressure on a defense. That attacking ability should be fun to watch at the next level. Montana State is getting a strong pin option in Nothdurft!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Adelaide Griest | MB | Middlebury College</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["519217"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acbcda938d7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Griest is headed to Middlebury College after continuing a strong senior season! She has been a steady presence in the middle throughout her final high school campaign. Her size gives her an advantage at the net. However, she also brings the attacking tools to make that size count. Griest can put pressure on a block and stay involved throughout the front row. Now, she gets a new opportunity to continue that growth at Middlebury. We are excited to see what she brings to the Panthers!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Riley Hake | OH/DS | University of Colorado Colorado Springs</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807168"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acbcda938d9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hake is bringing her all-around game to UCCS! She has experience making an impact in both the front and back row. That versatility is a major part of what makes her stand out. Hake also brings a strong volleyball IQ to the court. She understands the game and knows how to adjust. Her most recent performance showed that range with 18 kills and 17 digs. Now, she gets to take that complete skill set to the collegiate level. We are excited to see Hake compete for the Mountain Lions!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Next Chapter Starts Now</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These four athletes are ready for their next step! Jones is bringing her athletic middle game to Idaho State. Nothdurft will take her attacking ability to Montana State. Griest is headed to Middlebury after a strong senior campaign. Meanwhile, Hake will bring her versatility to UCCS.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For more Colorado volleyball coverage, player features, recruiting content, and more, follow @prepdigcolorado on Instagram!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
