Which Nebraska 2026s Are on the Cusp of Joining the Top 100?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We'll repeat a familiar mantra: it's never too late to become a stock riser.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An extended discussion of rising names, new additions, and several other prevailing themes has accompanied our latest <a href="https://prepdig.com/nebraska/rankings/2026-rankings/">Nebraska 2026 rankings</a> update. We still have a lot of time left with this exceptional class, so don't consider these the last narratives on the 2026 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is where we launch our discourse on the “next wave” of stock risers. Our list ranked 2026s has soared past 200, and several talented athletes are knocking on the door of the Top 100. Here are a few potential stock risers to follow as we approach the heart of the 2025 club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["486918"],"_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-6766082aa5611"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boyer is building off her best season yet with Columbus Lakeview. She hammered down 2.3 kills per set to put the Vikings on the verge of a state tournament appearance. Before this prep success, Boyer was a go-to scorer in the VCNebraska 16 Black lineup and embraced her primary passing role on the left side. Her medley of athleticism, power, and finesse will be worth watching as we load up another club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["349414"],"_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-6766082aa5681"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Siebler most recently demonstrated her skills at this month's Prep Dig Top 250 Expo in La Vista. This event reminded us of Siebler's quick elevation and innate ability to score on the left side. We saw the same traits flourish when Siebler represented Premier Nebraska during the club season and became a six-rotation contributor for 16 Red. Similar storylines will play out for 17 Red, a group with serious GJNC bid aspirations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["524200"],"_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-6766082aa56c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brummond will do anything she can to help her team succeed. In the 2024 high school season, that meant coming in off the bench and delivering wicked serves on the Skutt Catholic end line. This talented defensive specialist could also enter the backcourt fray and lock down any zone as a floor defender. Brummond's development will be a major storyline next spring as she moves up to represent a stacked [program_tooltip program_id='428743' first='VCNebraska' last=''] 17 Elite squad. No matter where Brummond slots into the lineup, her high-level experience will offer a huge boost to her growing recruiting stock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["216933"],"_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-6766082aa570d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Freeland is another persistent Premier Nebraska standout who carved out a bigger role on the prep side this fall. She logged another triple-digit-kill campaign for Gretna East this fall and demonstrated her range in the middle or on the right. Our list of potential stock risers is full of versatile players like Freeland who can slot into any spot in the starting rotation. We'll see which position takes precedence in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["349458"],"_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-6766082aa5770"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you're looking for a strong all-around ball-control player, keep tabs on Schaedel this spring. The Lincoln Lutheran standout has influenced matches through her setting and floor defense, giving the Warriors plenty of lineup options that include Schaedel. This setter-DS hybrid role has bolstered the Lincoln Lutheran onslaught en route to three state titles in each of Schaedel's three years with the program. She will now move to Nebraska Juniors for the club season and has a lot to prove with her new 17 Black team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["349449"],"_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-6766082aa57cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stradal's late-season surge with Nebraska Elite has us eager for more in 2025. Her pin-hitting prowess produced plenty of highlight moments, particularly on the right side. Stradal can confront opposing blockers but is also able to go over the top when she gets a full approach. The Class of 2026 attacker took part in a big Gretna resurgence this fall and will use that as a springboard to more gains next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["534457"],"_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-6766082aa580f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finally, we'll bring a past Banzai VBC standout into the picture. Walz made her mark with the club's vaunted 16 Select squad last spring, showcasing her skill at opposite and middle blocker. This positional range made Walz a difficult player to stop when her team produced quality passes at the net. Her willingness to hit in front of the setter or behind also extended Walz's role in the Banzai VBC offense. This Papio South junior is heading toward a key stretch of her prep career as we turn toward 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
