Suhr is another player that’s steadily improved throughout the last few years and is performing at a very high level right now. While that’s notable, it’s even more exciting knowing that there’s potential for quite a bit more growth. The Williamsburg standout benefits from long arms and the ability to get up off the court quickly, an underrated aspect of being a successful two-way player at the net. Suhr can attack with force and rises up well above the net to get on top of the ball. She reads the opposing block well and exploits holes in the defense. Tracking the attack on the other side of the net well leads to her being positioned for blocks. A good athlete, Suhr is versatile enough to find success at the pins, too.

I haven’t seen Suhr play on the outside at all, so I was excited to see how she would perform. It was no surprise that she exceeded any expectations that I might’ve had. I knew she would do well at the net with her powerful swing and strong block. But what surprised me the most was her performance in the back row. She was calm and controlled on serve receive, and moved very well on defense. I am excited to see whether this is a permanent move by the Raiders, or if we will see her stepping into more than one role.

Suhr is one of the state’s most improved middle blockers and players in Iowa’s 2028 Class during the last year. She got the ball rolling on that progress as a Williamsburg sophomore, when she registered 225 kills (.264) and 63.0 blocks with 94 digs in 82 sets. Suhr continued her rise during this past club campaign with Rockets 16R. During scouting opportunities throughout the year, she impacted matches with a mighty swing, putting the ball down on a regular basis. Suhr is seeing the court more clearly these days, allowing to maximize power in getting through the opposing block or working around it. Long arms, a big vertical and keen timing lead to Suhr defending the net at a high level. Openings for opponents are limited. There’s plenty of room for more growth here, which should make whichever college she attends very happy.

Kylee Suhr has been “Suhr”ging up the board in the Class of 2028. She has been a standout for Iowa Rockets 16R this club season where her hangtime is just different out of the middle. She has shown she can be dynamic in how she scores points as well as being a force defensively. The athleticism and physicality will be exciting as she continues to progress and will be a steal at the next level.

This is a mismatch nightmare for the opposing side of the net.  Kylee Suhr Kylee Suhr 6'1" | MB/OH Williamsburg | 2028 State IA is one who will be rising in the Class of 2028 as a middle blocker.  She plays much bigger than 6’0 where she finds a way to elevate to another level.  She is able to score on a variety of tempos in front of and behind the setter.  She also knows where to find the open spots on the other side and is a point scoring machine.  If Rockets can be in system and get the ball to Suhr they will be tough to stop. 

I wasn’t able to find any new footage of Suhr from the current club season. That’s OK. I’ve scouted her Rockets team in person twice this year. In-person viewing at the M1 Rochester Elite Scrimmages and the Iowa Invitational revealed a student-athlete that’s steadily improving, one that took a noticeable step forward from when I watched her early last season at Williamsburg. Suhr is an impactful two-way player in the middle of the net. She explodes off of the court and elevates well above the net. From there, she generates power in her swing and good vision locates where the defense is vulnerable. Suhr shows excellent timing and reads when throwing up the block. She’s technically sound in all aspects of the position.
