2026 Watch List A-To-Z Guide: Part 4

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2026 is full of a lot of promise and it is showing this club season and from last fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are a lot of players showing big potential right now and we are looking through all of them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's part 4 of our series looking at 2026 Watch List players and the strides they are making.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='227707' first='Gracelynn' last='Olson'], S Fruitport/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olson was the lead setter for the Fruitport program this past fall and helped develop some young hitters. Olson also had an impact at the net herself, posting 148 kills. Along with a solid serve and relentless defensive effort, Olson is a setter that looks to be a proven leader that a team can build upon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226913' first='Abbigayl' last='Sells'], DS/L Lake Fenton/High Performance</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sells has donned the libero jersey for both Lake Fenton and High Performance, getting a lot of experience at the position. That prep experience has paid off, as she looks very comfortable in her role this club season. Sells moves well with the play and gets into position to make the digs look easy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226934' first='Judy' last='Steffens'], OH Glen Lake</strong>/<strong>Northshore</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Steffens was a nice role player with the Glen Lake varsity program last fall. She put consistent swings on the ball and handled out-of-system plays very well. Her arm speed and aggression is likely to dial up as she gets more experience.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226935' first='Lucy' last='Stoll'], S South Lyon/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":264780,"width":259,"height":172,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/12/24-Lucy-Stoll.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-264780" width="259" height="172" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='226935' first='Lucy' last='Stoll']</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stoll has had a lot of success running an offense. She has been very vocal with her teammates and has good command on the floor. Stoll has quick feet and is willing to do what it takes to make a tough set or pull off a tough dig. As she continues to get more experience, the speed of her offenses should also improve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226936' first='Lexie' last='Stotenbur'], S Forest Hills Northern/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As a 5'10” setter, Stotenbur brings some great intangibles to the floor. She got some time with the FHN varsity this past fall, feeding the ball to some very powerful hitters. It's a role she should be comfortable stepping into next fall. Stotenbur already is showing a solid defensive game as well. As she continues to increase her speed of play, she should be a real asset for any team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226937' first='Mallory' last='Stoy'], DS/L Novi/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stoy comes from a Novi program that has produced its fair share of elite defensive players. Stoy shows the eagerness and desire to be part of that mix. She keeps herself moving and is quick to react and keep a ball in play. She's also been a real threat from the service line during the club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='226938' first='Kylee' last='Sykes'], S Hopkins/MVA</strong> </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sykes has had the luxury to work with a veteran setter in [player_tooltip player_id='66343' first='Corrie' last='Wisser'] this past prep season. That should pay off in the years to come with the Hopkins program. Sykes is an athletic player that seems to succeed no matter where she is on the court. Her defensive play shows a lot of promise, and she's been able to tally up a lot of aces with a forceful serve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
