Expert Analysis
Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Let’s give a shoutout to one of the longest-tenured starting liberos in the Omaha area. Mayer soared past 1,000 career digs this fall and had her best single-season digging output by a large margin. She led the Crusaders with 5.8 digs per set and performed best against the state’s most lethal offenses. The Crusaders were a step away from breaking into the tournament behind Mayer’s steady platform in the back row. Whoever steps into that role will have big shoes to fill.

Omaha Marian will surely lean on its vast collection of defensive specialists this fall. Mayer will be a ringleader for this group after she racked up nearly 400 digs in 2023. Her standout tenure with Nebraska Elite this spring has elevated Mayer’s stock even further, and she’s eying another postseason appearance with the Crusaders.

Mayer is poised for a huge step forward with Nebraska Elite 17-2. She has already established herself as a household name on the prep side with Omaha Marian, especially after climbing near the top of Class A’s digs leaderboard in 2023. Now, it’s time to take the reins on the club side. Mayer piloted 17-2’s defense during the team’s Gold bracket run in Minneapolis. Any opposing roll shots were funneled right to Mayer, who handled finesse plays with ease. Tally another high-level performance for this lockdown libero.

Mayer is another name that pops up over and over in these libero conversations. It’s no coincidence that ball control has been a cornerstone of Omaha Marian’s recent resurgence, and Mayer has had a steady hand in that phase. Her on-court effort and enthusiasm is a staple of the Crusader lineup and won’t be going away anytime soon.

Mayer has repeatedly proven her prowess in the middle-back area for Nebraska Elite 16 Maverick. She locks down the primary defensive specialist spot as a sub for one of 16 Maverick’s outsides, and the move is worthwhile every time. Nebraska Elite can count on Mayer to anchor the passing formation and provide some key digs when the team needs them most.

You could already call Mayer a breakout player based on what she did with Omaha Marian this fall. She showed her well-rounded backcourt game by passing plenty of balls and wielding a wicked serve from behind the line. Nebraska Elite will be happy to have that production from Mayer at the 16s level.
