Expert Analysis
Breit Nelson | Prep Dig Scout
Bouten stands at 6’2″ and was recognized for her overwhelming physical presence and dominant scoring ability. This made her an offensive threat who stressed out defenses. Her selection was fueled by a standout season in which she served as the focal point of the Thunder’s offense, recording massive performances, such as a 29-kill match against Big Lake. Bouten is a versatile six-rotation player with a booming armswing. She will be playing for South Dakota School of Mines in 2026.

Elle is a well-rounded volleyball player with a quick approach and an aggressive arm swing. She plays fearlessly at the net, no matter the block in front of her. Her high vertical helps her excel above big blocks and find ways to get around them to score. What truly sets her apart, though, is her court vision—she’s constantly able to find the open court and make the right play.

Bouten is long and athletic with a really high contact point. She is young and raw but with the right training the possibilities are endless. Bouten sees the court well, and is a strategic attacker that knows when to tip, tool, or go over the block with a swing that loves to tag the endline. She takes a wicked swing from the right side and can nail the co
ers from the middle making her pretty lethal from anywhere on the net. Bouten attended the North Country Region High Performance Camp last summer and you can find her playing up two age groups with MVA 17 Elite this season. I’m looking forward to seeing them in person at the Mizuno Showcase in March.
