Ruby Hawley Ruby Hawley DS ND comes in as the No. 9 overall prospect and the No. 3 libero in North Dakota’s Class of 2028, and her rise over a short period of time has been one of the most impressive developments we’ve tracked. She first landed on the radar early in her high school season, and from that point forward, her game took off. Each evaluation showed noticeable improvement—cleaner reads, stronger first contact, and a growing confidence in the back row.

Ruby’s defensive instincts stand out. She tracks hitters well, stays patient through approaches, and puts herself in position to make plays that extend rallies. Her platform control continues to tighten, allowing her to deliver consistent serve-receive passes and keep the offense in rhythm. What’s most exciting is how quickly she processes the game—she adjusts within matches and learns fast, a trait that translates well to the college level.

Still only a sophomore, Ruby already shows the foundational tools college coaches look for in a libero: reliability, anticipation, and composure under pressure. This upcoming club season is a critical window to see her continued growth, and it’s one coaches should not miss.
