Expert Analysis
Michael DeLeon | Prep Dig Scout
Sydney Cotman, a Class of 2028 outside hitter from Atholton High School in Columbia and Maryland Juniors Volleyball Club, is a player whose emergence from the Mid-Atlantic region should have college coaches from outside that market paying close attention. At 5’8″ she attacks with a physicality and intent that stands out on the left pin and she plays with the kind of competitive mentality that shows up every single point rather than disappearing when the game gets hard. Her footwork and approach mechanics are developing in a positive direction and she arrives at the ball in a strong hitting position consistently, which tells you the technical foundation is being built the right way rather than patched together. She stays engaged on the defensive end and contributes across all six rotations rather than functioning only as a front row piece, and that full-game involvement is the sign of a player who understands what being an outside hitter actually means at the next level. She is a 2028 outside hitter worth a serious look. Please help us congratulate her on earning Top Performer honors at this showcase event.

Sydney Cotman impacted both sides of the net with her timing. She closed well on blocks and used her length to take away space defensively. Offensively, she stayed quick in transition and used the block to her advantage, creating controlled scoring opportunities.
