Addison did really well during Summer NIT for Omni and seemed to be a steady presence when we saw her play. She displaying excellent ball control whether she be in defense or serve receive and would deliver accurate passing that allowed the team to stay in system. One thing I like about Addison’s game as a libero is how well she moves on the floor to cover a hitter or the space she can take up in defense. She always seems to be moving to the ball and can transition back to a great defensive position each play. She gets a lot of touches on the ball just by her hustle alone, and seems to be relentless in her pursuit of the ball or the proper position on the floor. She is also capable of delivering those high level passes even against top level competition. She can fill the gap in the block, take a deflection and make it playable, or play a ball up that no one can get to. A libero who can play any ball and make it playable on top of the great passes in serve receive and defense make Addison a standout from Summer NIT.

Addison McGowan named Top Performer at PrepDig’s Exposure Tour in Arizona.

Addison stepped into a six-rotation role and delivered as a steady all around contributor. She covered significant ground defensively, communicated consistently, and showed strong range in both the back row and front row situations. Her hustle and willingness to pursue every ball were evident throughout the session.

Addison shared that defense and communication are her strongest skills, and she continues to focus heavily on improving her serve receive through extra reps and attention to detail. Her work ethic, composure, and team first mindset earned her Top Performer recognition.

Addison Mcgowan Addison Mcgowan 5'7" | DS/L Casteel | 2028 State AZ consistently changed the momentum of her teams gameplay simply by being consistent. She brought a calm, steady presence to the backcourt and was someone her teammates clearly trusted even just having met her. Her serve receive was technically sound and dependable, and her defensive instincts stood out as she routinely read attackers and positioned herself ahead of the play.

What separated her from others at the showcase was her ability to make the difficult plays feel controlled and intentional. She stayed composed in long rallies, pursued every ball with purpose, and turned defensive stops into real scoring opportunities. Her communication and awareness helped stabilize her team on the floor, and her effort level never dipped regardless of the score. This showcase reinforced her value as a back-row leader—someone who elevates team defense, extends rallies, and brings a winning mindset.
