Maliya Cobb Maliya Cobb 5'10" | RS Ankeny | 2026 State IA is a force on the right side who knows how to shut down opposing offenses. With a disciplined block and sharp timing, she consistently challenges even the most aggressive outside hitters. Her lateral quickness and strong hands at the net make her a reliable front-row defender. Offensively, she swings with purpose, often tooling the block or attacking high off hands with great vision. Beyond her physical skills, Maliya brings undeniable fire and leadership to the floor—energizing her team and swinging momentum with every play. She’s a difference-maker and a right side that coaches need to keep an eye on.~@prepdigdakotas

I scouted Cobb at January’s Quad Cities Showdown and again at the St. Louis President’s Day Classic. She’s a well-rounded right-side hitter with leaping ability and power in the swing. Cobb has flown under the radar somewhat because she attends Ankeny High, one of the state’s top programs. She should get more run in 2025 following graduation losses from the roster. Cobb is fundamentally sound in her setup before unleashing the lefty punch. She’s a weapon for Impact this season as a two-way performer with her block.

Dynamic lefty opposites are bound to draw some attention in showcase environments. Cobb fits that mold and brings a ton of athleticism to her side of the net. Aside from her terminal frontcourt presence, Cobb also had a solid passing presence during skill-based drills. Iowa Impact is building impressive depth in the 2026 class, especially with Cobb finding her rhythm on the right pin.
