Five Uncommitted 2026 Prospects to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are five 2026 prospects available in the recruiting process and worth a look this club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='492640' first='Callie' last='McCullough'] </strong>- 5'10 | OH/MH | Club: TopSpin 17-1<br>McCullough has nearly 400 total kills over her two recent high school seasons for Talawanda, with a career average of 2.4 k/s. Defensively, she added six digs and 1.5 blocks per match. At 5'10, she is an aggressive attacker out of the middle. She is athletic and elevates well and with good space and timing she can put some big pace on the ball. Her activity and movement will require attention from the defense, which will benefit her team's offense in her point scoring and in opening space for others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='227804' first='Mia' last='Scanlon']</strong> - 5'10 | OH/RS/DS | Club: Southwest 17N1 (*pictured)<br>Scanlon has been on a recovery road recently and is finding form and impact especially as she enters back into another club season. The 5'10 Steele product can be a factor at either pin as she has a good foundation in her skills and movement that can lead to some aggressive power upon contact. She is one to keep an eye on over the next several months with a solid club team and as she continues to gain her confidence and flow back on the court full-time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":590720,"width":"164px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepdig.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2024/08/69-Naomi-Cole.jpg?w=884" alt="" class="wp-image-590720" style="width:164px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='487102' first='Naomi' last='Cole']</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='487102' first='Naomi' last='Cole']</strong> - 6'3 | MH/OH/RS | Club: Mintonette m.72<br>The 6'3 middle was a big factor for West Liberty-Salem in 2024 with a career best 3.7 k/s.
