17 Elite’s 2028 influence expands at the middle blocker spot. Bauer has been rising to prominence ever since Lincoln Southeast’s breakout berth in last year’s Class A tournament. That fall season highlighted Bauer’s strength as a pin hitter, but she shifts over to the middle for VCNebraska . It’s a worthy move for one of Nebraska’s most physically imposing prospects in the Class of 2028. Bauer thrives in front of the setter and carves indefensible angles on the quick. She also participates in the wide array of crossing patterns that VCNebraska is known to deploy. Last weekend’s podium push was another big step in Bauer’s months-long ascent.
