The No. 1 middle blocker in South Dakota’s 2026 class, Abby Gruber Abby Gruber 5'11" | MB/OH Brandon Valley | 2026 State SD continues to dominate the net this season. Her blocking timing is among the best in the state — she reads hitters early, gets solid hand press, and consistently shuts down high-level attackers. Offensively, Gruber is a major threat running the quick and slide, executing clean connections and scoring with efficiency.

Her ability to transition fast and be available on every rally has elevated her team’s offense. Gruber’s presence at the net has been a game-changer in key matches this season, and her competitiveness fuels those around her. Augustana is gaining a front-row anchor with next-level speed, power, and leadership potential. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
