I’m a Hoffert fan. It was stoked after watching her play for Mount Vernon at the Westside Invite late in the prep season. I was reminded of it when watching her compete at the 2026 Nike President’s Day Classic in St. Louis. Hoffert is what we call a “gamer.” She plays all out all the time with a willingness to provide the team with whatever it needs for success. Hoffert has a keen sense of where to go with the set on a given play, putting the ball where her attacker can make it work. A good athlete, Hoffert mounts an effective attack by leaping well and offering a heavy left-handed swing. She’s a smart player that spots opponent tendencies and takes advantage of that information.
