Expert Analysis

Austin Kingsley

Prep Dig Lead Scout

Iowa Select 16 Mizuno was not shy about playing up an age group (or two) in the 17s/18s division. The team was part of a three-squad pool format to close the AM wave, and Cotton didn’t wait to make a first impression. Her broad jump and whippy arm put all of Court 1 on notice. 16 Mizuno has leaned on its balanced offense several times throughout 2026, but there are still some “alpha” terminators to be found. Cotton leads the pack.

Prep Dig Scout

Cotton has been ascending for awhile. The steady rise included helping Assumption win a state championship after an impressive club campaign with Select. Cotton continues adding more physicality to her game as she gets older. You can tell she works hard on her craft, too, with her improved consistency, sharpening of her skills and feel for the game. Cotton limits her mistakes and has a knack for contributing wherever her team needs her most. She recorded 248 kills (.255), 249 digs and 36.0 blocks in impacting matches throughout six rotations. Cotton has an excellent chance to take another step forward during what will be an important upcoming club campaign.
