Expert Analysis

Austin Kingsley

Prep Dig Lead Scout

Like Omaha Fusion, Nebraska Elite 16 Alpha has plenty of talent to wield across the back row. We already brought one of the team’s liberos into the spotlight, and the conversation expands further after Burnett’s late-season emergence. The Elkhorn North sophomore is a stable, technical libero whose platform produces perfect backspin for her setter. We’ve seen her shoulder various DS roles in the 16 Alpha lineup, and Burnett’s range allows her to patrol any zone. A full array of passing, defense, and secondary setting was required during 16 Alpha’s Open grind at this month’s Salt Lake City Showdown.

Karlie Burnett Karlie Burnett 5'6" | DS/L Elkhorn North | 2028 NE anchors the backcourt with range and anticipation. She reads hitters well, keeps her platform quiet, and absorbs pace without letting the ball drift off target. Her defensive positioning allows her to dig hard-driven balls crosscourt and immediately convert to transition offense. She communicates and directs traffic, showing leadership beyond her class. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Day One Expectation: Look for Karlie to rack up quality digs, hold serve receive steady, and generate momentum through extended defensive rallies.
