Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
This is a perfect time to revisit this do-everything athlete from Lincoln Pius X. Jones made major strides with the Thunderbolts last year, particularly as a defensive anchor on the right side. This is a rare example of an opposite whose floor defense and first contacts are their best asset. We’ve seen Jones embrace defensive roles with Nebraska ONE 17 Lime, though she has the green light to attack at any time.

Jones is the kind of Swiss army knife you’d expect to find in the Nebraska ONE gym. She embraced a right-side hitter role with Lincoln Pius X last fall and was particularly effective at picking up tips as an off-blocker. Her niche with Nebraska ONE has also varied, as Jones has flexed her strong middle-back defense as a six-rotation hitter. She can even run the offense as a setter. What will the storyline be in 2026?

Nebraska ONE boasts incredible depth in the 16s age group, so we have no shortage of athletes to choose from. Jones has been a leader for 16 Lime and has a natural, fluid approach as a lefty opposite. She has an uncanny ability to fit her swings between blockers and the antenna, leading to straight-down kills and innumerable highlight moments.

Nebraska ONE 15 Lime gets another shoutout. Great Plains Region venues have often so many examples of how Jones can take over a match. She terminates well behind the setter, even when the offense is not in a perfect rhythm. Jones is also comfortable in the back row and can make difficult defensive plays in the right-back area. The April grind ended at the GPR Bid Tournament, where Jones brought several more additions to her highlight tape.

Jones is unlike most opposites you’ll see on the club scene. She has put together some successful stints on the right pin for Nebraska ONE 15 Lime, but that’s far from the only thing she’ll bring to the court. Jones can also play as a primary DS in the right-back area and rack up some huge dig totals for her squad. So, opposite or DS? Why not both?
