Hanson has steadily improved throughout the last year from what I’ve witnessed during in-person scouts. She’s gotten strong, grown in height and sharpened her volleyball skills. It’s exciting to consider her upside as the multi-sport athlete continues to gain volleyball experience. I watched her compete at the Westside Invite in Cedar Rapids late in the prep season and again at the 2026 Impact Invite with the host program’s 16-1 Elite team. Hanson just keeps adding power to her lefty-swing from the opposite pin, where she attacks aggressively. Her long arms and timing make her a factor as a blocker, too. Hanson is a player with a high ceiling and is on her way to reaching it. She’ll likely build on her sophomore season at Bondurant-Farrar that saw her lead the varsity in blocks and rank second in kills as a sophomore.
