More 2029 Defensive Gems: The 200-Dig Club

This is the second report featuring athletes from the Kansas Class of 2029 who excelled defensively as freshmen. This report highlights those athletes who reached the 200-dig benchmark as freshmen.   This is not an all-inclusive list. Some teams do not post public stats, I also exclude athletes for whom I can't find heights, and the cutoff point was 200 total digs. Also, a report yesterday featured freshmen with 300-plus dig seasons.   Each of these athletes now has a Prep Dig Profile.
