Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Ott had big shoes to fill this year after the departure of all-state libero Paisley Douglas. Fortunately, Omaha Skutt Catholic didn’t skip a beat with its new senior operator in the contrasting jersey. Ott’s high ceiling was especially apparent when she churned out 26 digs in the Class B title bout with Noris. The Colorado-bound defender also has a wicked serve that produced 40 aces during pre-tournament action.

Let’s address a second key cog in the VCNebraska 17 Elite backcourt. Ott has proven she can don the contrasting jersey or sub in for any of 17 Elite’s pin hitters. The Colorado commit gets her feet to the ball quickly and can work in conjunction with all of her fellow passers. Ott could be the next featured defender at Omaha Skutt Catholic as the SkyHawks chase ten consecutive state titles. That’s a lot of pressure, but Ott is ready.

Ott’s vital role in Skutt Catholic’s ninth consecutive state title cannot be overlooked. She dialed up over 50 aces off the bench, helping the SkyHawks maintain their status as one of Nebraska’s most formidable serving teams. Ott could also take on a standard DS role and churned out plenty of quality digs and passes throughout the 2023 campaign. There’s an opening at libero next year, and Ott could seize the opportunity in pursuit of the ten-peat.

With how well Ott has been serving lately, you find a way to get her in the starting rotation. Omaha Skutt Catholic regularly used its game-changing server to shift close sets in its favor. That was the case in the Class B championship match, where Ott helped the SkyHawks win the ball control duel and lock up the program’s ninth consecutive title.

is a gem at libero, but there are chances for several players around her to have huge 2023 campaigns. Ott is certainly one of those, and she can fill the void left by Anna Weberg’s graduation. She has already been an important contributor for this history-rich program and will keep elevating her game.

It’s always fun to see players thrive in new environments, and that’s exactly what we have with Ott and VCNebraska. This libero joined a couple of her other Omaha Skutt Catholic teammates in making the move to VCN 16 Elite this year. Regardless of which jersey she’s wearing, Ott has stood out with a combination of gritty floor defense and reliable serve receive.

Ott is one of a handful of Skutt Catholic standouts who has made the move to VCNebraska 16 Elite this year. The team has looked cohesive despite all the new personnel, and Ott is helping that cause with her lockdown defense. As more talented defenders move to the VCN pipeline, this is one libero you’ll want to keep an eye on moving forward.

We’re wrapping up this feature with another impactful backcourt specialist who will represent VCNebraska in 2023. Ott has dazzled us with her defensive skills before, and she will likely accomplish a similar feat this year with a 16 Elite team that will be fascinating to follow.
