Kopf has been one of Nebraska’s must-see defenders in the small-town prep scene. The Tri-County standout has put up big numbers for her high school squad and is equally impactful with VCNebraska 16 Elite. We could see that potential when she suited up to compete on the Prep Dig Circuit and locked down the end line in team reps. 16 Elite needed a comeback effort to earn its bid, and it wouldn’t have been possible without some defensive grit. Kopf will always be a leader in that area.

She can sub into the middle-back area and become a digging machine in that area. Of course, Kopf also has ample experience in the libero jersey, particularly during last year’s 15s season.

Her stellar performance at the showcase was no surprise, and neither was her productive sophomore season with Tri County High School. Kopf finished the 2023 season with a fantastic 4.8 digs per set and locked down the Trojan passing formation. More highlight moments are in the works.
