Mallory Schneider Mallory Schneider 6'1" | RS Sioux Falls Lincoln | 2028 ND is one of the most dynamic weapons in the 2028 class, and her ranking as South Dakota’s No. 2 overall prospect and No. 1 right-side hitter reflects just how impactful she already is. A lefty on the right pin, Mallory brings a natural advantage that immediately changes how defenses have to set up. Her swing path, angle creation, and ability to attack against the grain make her a nightmare matchup for opposing blocks.
At 6’1”, she pairs size with versatility, showing the ability to score as a terminal right-side while also stepping in as a setter when needed. That multi-positional value shows up in her court awareness and decision-making—she understands spacing, tempo, and how to keep an offense flowing. Her arm swing is clean and fast, and she does a great job creating high contact, allowing her to attack over and around the block.
Her résumé already includes national-level success: an AAU All-Star, a 15 Premier AAU All-American, and a runner-up finish at AAU Nationals with Kairos. Those moments weren’t flashes—they were proof of her ability to perform against elite competition. As a varsity contributor at Sioux Falls Lincoln, she’s shown she can impact matches early in her career.
What makes Mallory special is the combination of physical tools and volleyball IQ. She sees the floor well, adjusts in real time, and plays with confidence in big moments. As her approach speed, blocking consistency, and offensive range continue to expand, her ceiling only climbs higher.

Schneider is an amazing player to watch. She is tall, athletic, poised, and has a hammer for an arm. This first time I was watched her play with her Kairos 16 Alpha team, I was impressed with how good she was….and then I found she was only a 2028, playing up a year, which made it every more incredible. One of the things that sets her apart from her peers is her range. She is a setters best friend as she seems to get her hands on every set, regardless of location, as it if were meant to be placed in that spot. If I was recruiting a lefty right side in the class of 2028, Schneider would be at the top of my list.
