Humphrey moved up into the #6 overall spot in the rankings, showing off a dynamic ability to locate the ball pin to pin and rack up kills from the rights side as an attacker. Her athleticism and length at 5’10 give her an edge as a blocker in either a 5-1 offense or as a right side, and she plays defense first before she runs the offense from the setter spot. Humphrey is a player to watch breaking into the top 5 of the rankings moving forward, as she also did one of the most important jobs of a setter- winning. Her North Thurston team racked up win after win on their way to a 3A state semifinal game, and coaches cited her leadership as a major part of the overall season success.

The tenth ranked prospect in the class of 2026 did not disappoint as a sophomore, posting an incredible season as setter and attacker for North Thurston. The Rams finished 22-2, and Humphrey contributed in all phases of the game. She has a calm, neutral look as a setter, and did a nice job keeping defenders honest in a battle against Lake Washington. She can easily move from delivering a soft block touch in the front row to the second ball and then reversing the flow to her opposite for a backrow kill, displaying a high level of skill for a sophomore.

Humphrey is one of the top setter/opposite combos in the Washington 2026 class. More important is her ability to motivate her team and make her teammate’s better. She thinks through the game and has a knack for making the big play when her team needs it. As an attacker and setter, her quick feet and excellent athletic ability let her get into a great position and make strong moves all over the court at both positions.
