We are going to be previewing some of the players who have already signed up to participate.&nbsp; The one aspect that sets our showcases apart from every other one in the country is how we offer coverage, before, during, and after it is completed.&nbsp; Without further ado, here are a few players who you should be watching at the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='722080' first='Emily' last='Hutchinson']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32924","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Floresville","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='510823' first='South' last='Texas Volleyball Academy']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672988af945c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emily is currently an unranked prospect in the 2028 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but that is only because we have not released them yet.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Floresville High School and also plays club for the [program_tooltip program_id='510823' first='South' last='Texas Volleyball Academy'] program. Miss Hutchinson has been very active at the net for her high school squad.&nbsp; The strong middle runs many routes with solid execution and is always ready to swing away.&nbsp; I really love how she stays on the balls of her feet and keeps her head on a swivel.&nbsp; In watching her highlight reels online, what stood out to me is how she is able to hit fast tempo quick sets in the three position and then also hit higher tempo sets on the pins out of serve receive.&nbsp; It is not that easy to do and she makes it look simple.&nbsp; Being only a freshman and yet showing her athleticism, makes my eyes open wide and I cannot wait to see her in person.&nbsp; She seems like the aggressive type of middle that all college coaches will love.&nbsp; Stay tuned for more from this special athlete as we cover her during the Expo.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[517151],"_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-672988af9462d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alayna is currently an unranked prospect in the 2026 Class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but has our eyes on her as she has made her way back to Texas this season.  She plays volleyball at Pieper High School and club for the [program_tooltip program_id='431254' first='San' last='Antonio Juniors'] volleyball program.  Miss Perales is very well known to us at Prep Dig, as we have seen her ball out on the court since she was very young in this sport.  A native of Texas since she was very young, the talented junior outside spent the past few years in Colorado playing high level volleyball and is now back home to showcase her skills amongst the state' best.  She has been putting in some work outside of the court to jump higher and get stronger and we cannot wait to see her in action.  Offense is her bread and butter as she has a solid arm and even better hand contact to move the ball around to any location she wants to.  I am very intrigued to watch her ball control as she is now older and stronger than the last time we saw her in action.  If I were you, I would give her a look or two in the showcase to see if she can help your college program.  From speaking to her off of the court, she is a solid young lady with a great heart and desire to get better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["443012"],"_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-672988af94673"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Breanna is currently an unranked prospect in the 2027 class according to our Prep Dig Texas State Rankings, but is on our official Watch List.&nbsp; She plays volleyball at Saint Mary's Hall High School and club for the [program_tooltip program_id='431254' first='San' last='Antonio Juniors'] volleyball program. &nbsp;Miss Benavides has accumulated 679 digs this high school season as a sophomore on varsity.&nbsp; She has single handedly helped her team stay in rallies on defense.&nbsp; If you thought that was great, check this out!&nbsp; She is also a legit threat to score points for her squad as she has tallied 177 aces from the service line also.&nbsp; I am very interested to watch her in person and see just how competitive she is against the top talent that will be in attendance at the Expo.&nbsp; What I have heard from some coaches is that she is one of the top defensive players that should be getting a ton of looks by coaches soon.&nbsp; My eyes will definitely be watching and you should also.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay tuned for more articles on your favorite athletes that will be attending the showcase.&nbsp;
