Competing for a Class 1A school in the North Iowa Cedar League can lead to being overlooked. I think that’s been the case with Linder. She’s also improving at a nice clip. The North Mahaska junior flashed high upside during the 2026 Nike President’s Day Classic in St. Louis. Linder is every bit of 6-1 with long arms and excellent leaping ability. She generates a good amount of power with her explosion and by whipping her right arm through the hitting zone. Linder does well getting on top of the ball and sees the court keenly, allowing her to expose weaknesses in the defense. Her traits and abilities also serve her well in defending at the net. Linder piled up 312 kills (.226) with 213 digs and 27.0 blocks during the 2025 prep season. Her stock is rising.
