Expert Analysis
Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Schmidt is back to churning out monster stats for Omaha Concordia. She has already earned a reputation as a game-changing attacker after logging a 0.321 hitting efficiency last season. Schmidt is back on a similar attacking clip as a senior, but she’s also adding a career-best 1.3 blocks per set. The Mustangs are climbing Class B’s hierarchy through their tremendous net presence and lethal transition scoring. Schmidt leads the way in both areas.

Here’s another well-rounded middle blocker for your list. Schmidt has already cemented her spot as one of Nebraska’s most efficient middles with Omaha Concordia High School. That dominance carries right over to the club stage with Premier 17 Red, where Schmidt brings a wide-ranging impact to the floor. We even saw her collect some solid transition digs in her serving rotation, so 17 Red can be comfortable with its middle blocker in the back row.

Another big outing for Schmidt–but on the club side this time. We documented her high-efficiency junior campaign with Omaha Concordia, and Schmidt is back for more as a member of Premier 17 Red. She is incredibly terminal in front of the setter, but her impact doesn’t stop there. Schmidt’s impressive blocking reach allows her to slow down opposing attacks to set up 17 Red’s transition offense. Middle blockers can make a splash with floor-denting kills or the little touches on the block. Schmidt gives you both.

Schmidt generated plenty of headlines through her 2023 efficiency numbers with Omaha Concordia. She greatly exceeded a 0.300 clip from the middle and was a force in first-ball situations or in transition. The Mustangs generated a major uptick in wins as a result, and Schmidt could receive even more attempts as a senior.

Efficient scoring has been Schmidt’s calling card at Omaha Concordia. The hard-hitting middle blocker terminated at a clip over 0.300, helping the Mustangs trot out a much-improved 2023 squad. And, just for good measure, Schmidt posted a team-leading block total and was vital in generating positive touches. The offense might run through Schmidt next season, but she’ll be ready.

Few teams have figured out how to slow down Schmidt this year. The Omaha Concordia middle blocker is hitting 0.339 this year and is adding a block per set for good measure. This reliability has been a catalyst for a 14-8 mark and a series of impressive results for the Mustangs.

We’ll now visit the Premier Nebraska gym for a middle blocker who is quickly rising up the 2025 ranks. Schmidt’s most effective attacking route is the “gap” play halfway between the center of the net and the pin. 16 Red does a great job of shooting the ball out to this dynamic attacker, and Schmidt knows how to capitalize.

We’ve talked a lot about Omaha-area middle blockers over the last few days, and Schmidt can put her name into the mix with a couple of big qualifier performances. Premier 16 Red will make good use of Schmidt’s length, heavy arm, her natural ability to terminate in front of the setter. Her fiery personality helps, too.

Our run of standout middle blockers continues. Schmidt took a huge step forward in her sophomore campaign with Omaha Concordia, tallying 179 kills on a 0.281 clip. With such a sharp rise in production, it’s hard to predict how high Schmidt might rise in 2023.
