Nkemjikau Udokwu is a player we have been keeping a close eye on over the last couple of weeks, and she continues to impress. Udokwu is one of her team’s statistical leaders in both kills and blocks, and while she is still a young talent, she competes with confidence at a high level. She brings an impressive combination of size and athleticism to the court, taking away a lot of space at the net and using her jump height to her advantage. Udokwu continues to develop into a major presence in the front row and is a player to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

Udokwu is a 5’11” middle who is already showing why she is a name to know. She has a natural feel for the game and impressive reach at the net. Her blocking ability stands out, and she continues to work on sharpening her timing in the middle. When that timing is right, Udokwu can contact the ball high and send it straight down or find the open corner. As she continues putting those pieces together, her upside becomes even more exciting.
