This is a mismatch nightmare for the opposing side of the net.  Kylee Suhr Kylee Suhr 6'0" | 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.

Suhr’s contact point was nearly unrivaled in Des Moines’ Heartland Event Center. The high-flying sophomore switched things up throughout our Iowa Exposure Tour, scoring in front of the setter or on the right side. Length, physicality, and power are all traits we’ve come to associate with some of Iowa Rockets ‘ best athletes, regardless of position. Suhr brings that entire triad with a bit of positional versatility to boot.

Our all-showcase team is loading up in the middle, but you could also slot Suhr into either pin spot, too. Her effortless elevation and snappy arm swing paid dividends throughout her Exposure Tour stay. Suhr has the rare ability to get on top of the ball quickly despite being one of the longest athletes in the gym. This presented some nightmare matchups in Des Moines, and Suhr was eager to capitalize.

Suhr showed a mature game when I saw her playing club ball this year. She shined again at the Prep Dig Iowa Sizzle in early August. That’s led to a sophomore campaign filled with production and efficiency. Suhr was pacing the Raiders in kills with 132 kills through 18 matches, when her .334 percentage was among the best in the state’s 2028 Class. Her 30.0 blocks also were tops on her team. Suhr is athletic and agile with long arms. Her instincts in the middle are keen, and she’s technically sound. Suhr is a college prospect packed with potential.
