Sherbeyn has somehow raised her standards after posting a remarkable freshman campaign last fall. She was among Nebraska’s leading first-year scorers in 2025, putting down over 400 kills for her Valentine crew. However, Sherbeyn is already on pace to eclipse that total after needing just 20 sets to reach triple-digit kills. Her 24-kill in this year’s season opener set the tone, and Sherbeyn has catalyzed one of Valentine’s best starts in recent memory.

We’re heading way out west for this one. WyoBraska Sky’s top 16s squad has quietly been tearing it up on the western Nebraska scene, and Sherbeyn sets the tone as a leading terminator. It was impossible to ignore Sherbeyn’s freshman numbers with Valentine, where she tallied a whopping 412 kills to pace the Badgers. That has translated to instant success at WyoBraska while crossing into the Rocky Mountain Region for club competition. Sherbeyn’s ceiling elevates with every rep.

Meet Nebraska’s freshman “kill champion” from the 2025 season. Sherbeyn led all 2029s in total kills and kills per set, finishing last year’s campaign with over 400 terminations for Valentine. However, the prep scene wasn’t the final venue where Sherbeyn made herself known. She also participated in December’s Nebraska Exposure Tour, making the long trek from northern Nebraska to the Nebraska Elite gym. Sherbeyn’s effortless athleticism translated well against big-city stars, further boosting her stock among Nebraska’s 2029s.

Sherbeyn, like Canales, made a long trip to our Nebraska Exposure Tour and made the most of her appearance in Elkhorn. This multi-talented athlete already surged into the spotlight with Valentine this fall, putting up 4.6 kills per set and over four digs per set to boot. Keep tabs on this six-rotation gem from up north.

Not many Nebraska 2029s posted numbers like Sherbeyn this fall. The freshman pin hitter averaged an eye-popping 4.6 kills per set in her Valentine debut, amounting to over 400 total terminations in the regular season. This resulted in one of the most dramatic upticks in the win column on Nebraska’s prep stage. Valentine vaulted from six wins to 23, putting the Badgers on a dramatic upward trajectory in the northern reaches of the Cornhusker State. Sherbeyn’s heavy-handed dominance continued at our showcase and will not wane in 2026.
