radar.  I was able to see her recently at the Prep Dig Gauntlet where she has a really high contact point and active arm.  I also think there is a big upside to her game with her length and overall athleticism.  Her 16 Silver team is one to watch where they have plenty of 2028s who will be solid players at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!--

who is able to play multiple positions and finds ways to be effective for her team.  The explosiveness with her approach and jump is exciting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block
