Braxton Nedved Braxton Nedved 5'7" | S/DS/L Wagner | 2027 State SD steps in as South Dakota’s No. 2 setter and brings a different kind of presence to the position. She plays fast and keeps the offense moving, getting the ball out of her hands quickly and putting hitters in rhythm. I see her stay aggressive with tempo, especially when the pass is clean, and she’s not afraid to push pace to the pins.

What stands out is how she competes through every rally. When the play breaks down, she adjusts, finds a way to get her hitters a playable ball, and keeps the offense connected. There’s toughness in how she handles those moments, and that’s where she separates.

It will be fun to see how she pushes tempo, competes, and challenges this group at the NCR RTDP training.
