Carmichael became a game-changer as soon as she joined the fray at Nebraska Elite, and little has changed in 2026. This rangy pin hitter recently took her hard-hitting style on the road for our Prep Dig Iowa Clash in Des Moines. Nebraska Elite 17-1 leaned on Carmichael to terminate in out-of-system situations, leading to some high-volume production and highlight moments. It’s par for the course after Carmichael piled up nearly 300 kills with Norfolk High School last fall.

Carmichael exploded onto the Great Plains scene with Nebraska Elite 16 Apex and kept climbing throughout 2025. This culminated in a 270-kill junior season with Norfolk and her quick rise in Nebraska’s 2027 rankings.

This feature isn’t just for middle blockers. We wanted to find a left-side hitter who goes above and beyond the expected blocking production for the position, and Carmichael fits the bill. This year’s club season gave us a full glimpse of Carmichael’s imposing physicality on the pin, and she’s paying that off with a block per set on the outside. The Panthers have dominated the net with their cast of long, athletic blockers. Carmichael is an indispensable part of the equation while also dishing out more than three kills per set for the offense. This is a true all-around gem.

Carmichael continues to raise the standard for Nebraska Elite 16 Apex. This athletic left-side hitter has turned into the “big gun” for 16 Apex and lifted her squad to the final 16 Premier bracket at AAUs. Carmichael has a knack for using her elite length on the pin, even if she isn’t allowed to get a full approach. Moreover, the Norfolk native can adapt to any tempo and hammer through open seams on ‘go’ sets. This is a complete prospect to watch on the small-town prep scene.

This was an obvious one. Carmichael joined the Nebraska Elite 16 Apex lineup this spring and immediately established herself as an elite attacker. The Norfolk sophomore boasts tremendous length and pairs it with exceptional athleticism on the left side. Carmichael has stepped up during some of 16 Apex’s biggest qualifier trips, including NLQ and Show Me. Her prep impact this fall will be massive.
