Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Dig Scout
Burds has steadily improved as an overall volleyball player and added versatility when scouting her during the last year. She flashed potential on the club circuit in 15U last year and contributed on the Western Dubuque varsity as a sophomore this past fall. Burds had taken another step forward based on her performance at the 2026 Adidas Windy City National Qualifier over Easter weekend in Chicago. Facing quality competition at one of the season’s premier events, she produced as a two-way presence in the middle of the net. The swing is heavy with a chance to add significant velocity as she becomes stronger. Burds reads the block well and finds holes in the defense. An improving block is aided by good bounce and timing against the opposing attack. Burds is one to watch the rest of the club campaign and could break out for the Bobcat varsity in the fall, when she’s capable of contributing from any of the front-row positions.
