Eymann didn’t wait long to make an impression this year. The Papio South standout displayed exceptional poise as Premier Nebraska 17 Gold endured a wild journey to a 17 Open bid at NLQ. Big stages are no problem for Eymann, who is a multi-year state champion on the prep side. Aside from Eymann’s ability to distribute the offense, she is an impenetrable right-back defender and brings infectious energy to the court. We’re ready to see more at USAV Nationals.

Eymann made an immediate impact whenever she rotated in as part of Papio South’s two-setter offense. She commanded the Titan offense well out of the back row and had a team-high 22 assists in the Class A title victory over Elkhorn South. The junior standout also reminded us of her sharp defensive skills in the right-back area. Look for all these traits to flourish as Eymann embarks on another club season in 2025.

Papio South deployed a unique two-setter system that brought Eymann into the mix across the back row. This sophomore setter was one of our biggest stock risers from the 2024 club campaign, so her influential presence with the Titans is no surprise. Eymann knows how to spread the ball from pin to pin while also executing Papio South’s wide array of combination plays. The Titan offense features some unique patterns in its three-hitter rotations, but Eymann handles it all with poise and precision. She’s earned her spot with the Class A frontrunner.

Eymann kicks off a large list of Premier Nebraska setters climbing our list. The Papio South athlete helped Premier Nebraska 16 Gold earn an Open bid, and that triumph offered some of Eymann’s best volleyball to date. She was a can’t-miss standout at the Show Me Qualifier with her accurate distribution and impenetrable floor defense. We can’t wait to see what Eymann’s upperclassman tenure will look like.

Eymann brought her best when it mattered most. Her steady setting and spectacular floor defense lifted Premier 16 Gold to a late-season bid triumph at last month’s Show Me Qualifier. Successful Open-level teams usually need a setter who can provide stability and consistency to the starting lineup. Eymann has been that player for 16 Gold, and her stock continues to rise throughout 2024. Another big opportunity is on the way.

Eymann is another player who earned a shoutout after her team earned a GJNC bid. Premier 16 Gold reaped the benefits of Eymann’s multi-faceted ball control skills whenever this talented setter rotated in. The 6-2 system allows Eymann to influence the team through her setting and her impenetrable right-back defense, which produced some must-see highlights at Show Me.

So, the Papio South-Premier pipeline is pretty strong. Alongside Dyrstad in the back row, Eymann has made her own mark as a defensive specialist who can lock down any zone along the end line. She has been particularly effective in the middle-back area as a substitute for a left-side hitter. Don’t overlook that impact in Chicago.
