Throughout the 2026 club season, these athletes consistently found ways to impact matches through their skill, competitiveness, versatility, and leadership. Whether it was controlling the back row, terminating key swings, running an offense, or stepping into new roles for their teams, each player left a lasting impression. As they continue to develop over the next several years, these are some of the 2028s that caught our attention this club season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["604624"],"_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-6a0bc34a1b6c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Angela turned up the heat this club season and emerged as one of the more impactful pin hitters in the 2028 class. A former middle blocker, she has thrived since making the transition to the outside, showcasing her athleticism, energy, and ability to score points in a variety of ways. Angela has become a go-to offensive option for her team, consistently delivering in key moments with a strong arm and aggressive attacking mentality. Her growth on the pin was evident all season and played a major role in her rise up the rankings. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["551503"],"_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-6a0bc34a1b5d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Competing up an age division with BBVC's 17s squad as a sophomore, Olivia never looked out of place against older competition. Her willingness to get on the floor, combined with her strong arm and defensive instincts, made her a valuable contributor all season. Spanish particularly stood out at Emperor's Cup, where she repeatedly found seams in opposing blocks and terminated attacks with authority. Her off-blocker defense and competitiveness continue to separate her from many players her age. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["549484"],"_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-6a0bc34a1b651"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Versatility was one of Dru's biggest strengths this season. While spending much of the year as a libero and defensive specialist, she willingly stepped into the setter role when her team needed her most. That adaptability speaks volumes about her team-first mindset and volleyball IQ. Dunlap also possesses a dangerous float serve and continues to show growth in multiple areas of her game. Her defensive presence and willingness to embrace different responsibilities make her a valuable piece for her team. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["563117"],"_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-6a0bc34a1b7b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reagan proved to be a reliable go-to option for her team throughout the season. She does a good job of finding openings in the defense and sneaking attacks through the block when points matter most. Hughes played a key role in helping her team finish runner-up in the Emperor's Cup Silver Bracket and consistently made herself available in transition by quickly getting off the net and preparing to attack. She also showed the ability to score from out-of-system situations while maintaining a strong 3.85 GPA in the classroom. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769230"],"_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-6a0bc34a1b82d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jennifer brings value in every rotation. The six-rotation outside hitter contributes as both an attacker and passer while bringing relentless effort to every rally. Works hard at not letting the ball hit the floor, provides dependable serve receive, and keeps opponents guessing with the ability to serve both deep and short. Offensively, Gershick can generate points from either pin and remains a threat from the back row, making her one of the more versatile attackers in her class. --Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thank you for supporting Prep Dig Nevada.
