Expert Analysis
Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Faust’s leadership has impressed us since she first competed on the national stage as a 15s athlete. She can adapt to whatever system her team deploys, from a one-setter offense to a 6-2 lineup. Setters often become blocking liabilities in the front row, but this doesn’t apply to Faust. She anchors the right side well and is also an eager attacker on the second contact. Her NIT reps with Premier Nebraska 17 Black have elevated her stock further.

Faust didn’t take long to make an impression when she arrived on the 15s scene last year. Her consistent leadership catalyzed Premier Nebraska’s 15 USA bid last year, and Faust was back in the spotlight in 2024. 16 Black has so many lineup options given Faust’s ability to thrive in any rotation. She presents a physical block for opposing left-side hitters and becomes a legitimate attacking threat as a frontcourt setter. Faust will also participate in a 6-2 and provide seamless transitions between her and Miller. It’s no wonder why Faust is earning plenty of reps at USAV Nationals.

Faust will inevitably show up on the biggest stages. It was evident during her 15s season with Premier Nebraska, and she keeps bringing it at the 16s level. Premier 16 Black had a dominant outing at the GPR Bid Tournament, but this was just a continuation of the team’s extraordinary late-season efforts. Faust ties everything together at the setter spot and can connect with any of her team’s hitters. Keep an eye on the 16 National division this summer.

Faust knows what it takes to thrive in tense environments like the Great Plains Region Bid Tournament. The Premier 16 Black setter has kept rising ever since her 15 USA triumph in 2023. Faust can play all the way around the dial while using her length to shut down opposing left-side hitters. This continuity laid the foundation for 16 Black’s dominance at the bid tourney, and a similar story could be written in Las Vegas.

Faust is as steady as it gets when the pressure ramps up. That’s exactly what you want from a setter, too. She jumped onto our 2026 radar through last year’s qualifiers and has a chance to qualify again with 16 Black. We’ll see if the team uses Faust in the front row, in a 6-2, or anywhere in between. 16 Black will be ready.

Faust was one of our earliest Class of 2026 stock risers when we covered last year’s club season. It was hard not to notice her leadership skills as she led Premier Nebraska 15 Black to a GJNC bid at the Northern Lights Qualifier. Faust proved that she was adaptable enough to set in a 6-2 system or run the show herself in a 5-1. Regardless of which lineup is deployed in 2024, this versatile setter has a chance to run it back with Premier 16 Black and claim the 2026 hierarchy in the process.

This was a qualifier stretch to remember for Faust and Premier 15 Black. Faust soared into the spotlight as 15 Black battled all the way to the NLQ championship in 15 USA and locked up a Nationals bid with that breakthrough. It was hard not to notice the precision and leadership qualities Faust brought to the team’s versatile lineup, and 15 Black has made some ventures in Open-level competition since then.
