It's our biggest class yet, and it's home to some of the best players in Nevada. We've got over&nbsp;<strong>100 sophomores</strong>&nbsp;ranked and ready for those college coaches to start calling on June 15, 2025, and beyond. They're next in line for college commitments, and our state has so much talent that deserves to be recognized on a national level.&nbsp;<a href="https://prepdig.com/nevada/rankings/2027-rankings/">Take a look at our full 2027 rankings list here.</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepdig.com/how-we-rank/">Read – Here's How We Rank</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a handful of the newest faces that made our 2027 ranking list thanks to their accomplishments individually and based on how they contributed significantly to their team's success this recent high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Meet some of the new faces in this super talented group of players…</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["628122"],"_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-67718d0cee0e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ella had an awesome year at Green Valley as the team's libero. For one, she's got the split step mastered, especially on serve receive, which lets her get to serves way faster. She moves side to side with ease and pairs her passing skills with a solid serve. She's also not afraid to step up for the second ball in out-of-system plays, finishing the season with about 55 assists and 355 digs. We got a chance to see her skills put to the test at the Nevada Top 250 Expo and can't wait to see more of her in action during the club this season! --Kantessa @lasvegasvbanalyst @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":737360,"width":"260px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/12/Ella-Varner-crop-669x440-1735504234.png?w=668" alt="" class="wp-image-737360" style="width:260px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photographer: @j4ylvsu/IG: @ella.varner.vb</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735364"],"_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-67718d0cedf72"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Khloe was a standout player for Pershing County, dominating the front row and completely owning the back row. The sophomore crushed it with 458 digs, ranking fourth in Nevada! She played a huge role in leading her varsity team to an undefeated 18-0 season. On top of that, she racked up 147 kills and 52 aces, showing she's got serious skills both on offense and defense. This two-sport athlete is definitely one to watch! --Kantessa @lasvegasvbanalyst @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735370"],"_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-67718d0cedff5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Raegan was a key player for Churchill County, leading the team in kills, hitting percentage, and blocks. She put up almost 300 kills, 46 blocks, and finished the season with a solid .217 hitting percentage. As a middle hitter, she's quick off the net and always ready to attack, especially aiming for those deep corners. Keep an eye on her as she heads into her next season — she's definitely someone to watch! --Kantessa @lasvegasvbanalyst @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735665"],"_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-67718d0cee04b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Millie totally stepped up for the Las Vegas Wildcats, making an impact both offensively and defensively. As the setter, she crushed it with 543 assists, but she didn't stop there—she also put up 233 digs! What really sets her apart is her strong defense in right back, which a lot of young setters are just getting confident with. If she keeps up this momentum, Mangum is on track for an epic high school career. Keep an eye on her! --Kantessa @lasvegasvbanalyst @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["717733"],"_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-67718d0cee099"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olivia played a huge role in Green Valley Christian's state championship win this year. She racked up hundreds of digs and passes, helping her team dominate in Nevada 2A volleyball. Even as a freshman last season, she was already one to watch, finishing with nearly 225 digs. This season, she went even bigger, recording nearly 400 digs as she continues to level up her game. Can't wait to see what she does next in club! --Kantessa @lasvegasvbanalyst @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark>Boost Your Exposure with Prepdig!</mark></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://prepdig.com/subscribe/">Subscribe to Prepdig+</a>.
