Previous rank: #7
After settling into her role as a defensive specialist/libero, Hanson has truly flourished. Previously tasked with offensive responsibilities, her move to NPJ Salem 16-1 National allowed her to fully embrace her defensive role. Without the need to attack, she has zeroed in on anchoring the backcourt with relentless energy and athleticism. Her defensive reads and dynamic range have been lights-out—she rarely lets a ball drop. Her ability to make plays on balls well outside her zone has stood out.

Hanson flexed her versatility at Regionals for Webfoot 16-1 Elite, juggling between a six-rotation outside hitter and a libero. We were very impressed with her transition to libero, and given her height, this might be a role she will look to fill going forward. She exhibited really strong communication, solid serve receive and a quick reaction on defense. She also stepped in with her hands to take the second ball on out of system plays, and placed it well for the attacker.

Hanson, the #3 outside hitter for the class of 2027, showcases a powerful arm swing and a very explosive approach that she uses to get up and hammer the ball away. Although the Webfoot 16-1 attacker is undersized, Hanson is a dynamic player and can bury the ball past most blocks, or use her court vision to make shots into open court. Hanson is also consistent in the back row.

Hanson may only be 5’7”, but with a powerful step close and fast arm, her attack packs a punch. When she has the open net or hole in the block, Hanson will swing away. But if trapped, she oozes finesse and is inventive in finding the open court due to exceptional court vision. She exhibits tons of athleticism across the backrow, making dynamic plays on defense, and is consistent on serve receive. Her six-rotation abilities will be put to use with Webfoot 16-1 this club season.
