Even the 2029 landscape is changing. Gerdes introduced herself through last month’s Nebraska Exposure Tour, where her length and quickness were immediately put on display. She had spent the prior club season on Premier Nebraska’s 14 Red roster, but Gerdes has made a big jump for 2026. Her new home is Premier Nebraska 15 Gold, a team with no shortage of frontcourt options and eye-catching athletes. Gerdes fits right in with her ability to elevate in front of the setter and mix up shots on the quick. The MLK Invite showed us how balanced 15 Gold can become while Gerdes is patrolling the net.

Gerdes is the kind of middle blocker that has made Papio South an unstoppable Class A dynasty on Nebraska’s prep stage. We may need to wait for Gerdes’s turn in the Titan lineup, but we can bet on her immediate impact with Premier Nebraska 15 Gold. Gerdes is a quick, fluid middle blocker whose pin-to-pin agility became a focal point of our Nebraska Exposure Tour. She combines that with some exceptional attacking range, particularly in front of the setter. This versatility will flourish no matter which system Premier Nebraska 15 Gold deploys this spring.

Look out for Papio South’s next wave of frontcourt talent. This year’s Class A champs could lean on Gerdes to contribute in the middle in the very near future. Her length and physicality let her square up with anyone across the net at the Exposure Tour. Gerdes pairs that with effortless elevation off two feet, making her a daunting matchup for any opposing blocker.
