Expert Analysis
Abby Snethen | Prep Dig Scout
Akpan played as an outside hitter this weekend for South Medford, absolutely demolishing the ball. She is huge on the net taking away so much space and pressing hard when she blocks. She gets on top of the ball and hits over blocks when she does make a swing. Since she has played middle before, she can effectively hit a slide even in the outside position, showing her versatility and speediness.

Akpan, another Player of the Year and First Team All-League select for the Southwest League, is a returning senior for South Medford. Although she can mainly be seen as a middle blocker, Akpan also plays a six rotation outside, a hard role for most middles to fit into. Her positional adaptability and raw athleticism makes her a player you’ll want to watch all season.

Akpan has emerged as one of Oregon’s most formidable middle blockers, currently sitting as #7 overall in the PrepDig Oregon rankings. A raw, high-level athlete with unmatched physicality, she brings an explosive approach and a powerful arm swing that make her a serious offensive weapon. Her ability to terminate plays at the net, combined with her natural athleticism, makes her a nightmare for opposing defenses. What sets Akpan apart is her versatility—while she primarily plays as a middle, she takes on a six-rotation role as an outside hitter in high school, demonstrating strong ball control, defensive awareness, and adaptability. Her ability to impact the game in multiple ways makes her an invaluable asset, and as she continues to refine her skills, her recruiting potential remains limitless.

Akpan attacks out of the middle for Webfoot 18-1. Akpan is so athletic, and at Regionals she showcased her impressive vertical and super quick footwork in transition. Akpan is so fast that she frequently beats the block ahead of her and uses her powerful swing to put the ball down.

Akpan is a physical middle blocker, starting for the South Medford varsity team. She is not afraid to rip at the ball when the opportunity presents itself. Her blocking is impressive; with good lateral movement to close at the pins and a strong upper body to press over the net, she has no problem shutting down high-level players.
