Expert Analysis
Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
How about McLeay stepping into the front row? This Omaha Marian standout has primarily been known for her lockdown defense in the Premier Nebraska 16 Gold lineup, but we’ve consistently harped on her extensive background as an outside hitter. That attacking role resurfaced at GJNC as McLeay wielded her quick right arm against the nation’s most physical squads in 16 Open. She elevates well and shows a knack for tooling the block to her advantage. We’ll likely get another look at McLeay’s terminal ability as she pivots toward the fall season, and we can expect some big numbers in the kill column.

McLeay is one of Nebraska’s most fascinating defenders in the 2027 class. She primarily wears the libero jersey for Premier Nebraska 16 Gold, but she was also a go-to left-side hitter for Omaha Marian last fall. McLeay’s experience in both roles seems to help her react to opposing attackers and anticipate where to place her platform. 16 Gold can also lean on McLeay’s athleticism to extend its defensive range and make improbable saves. It’s the perfect recipe for a game-changing libero.

McLeay is part of Premier 15 Gold’s multi-talented defensive group that we’ve highlighted throughout the season. She has seen prior stints at the outside hitter spot but has primarily anchored the libero position for 15 Gold. This stacked Premier squad is “double qualified” in the Open division, and that feat doesn’t happen without some stellar first contacts along the end line. McLeay has done her part as the defensive commander and will keep progressing as we look toward Vegas.

McLeay’s multi-position experience puts her among the most fascinating athletes in this group. She can go across the frontcourt as an outside hitter and crank out some huge crosscourt swings. However, her libero reps with Premier 15 Gold might reveal her future impact at the position. The back row suits McLeay’s aggressive style, too.

Outside hitter or libero? McLeay has an extensive background as a frontcourt hitter, but her most recent excellence has come in the back row. She donned the libero jersey throughout much of Premier 15 Gold’s stay at Triple Crown NIT, and the wins kept rolling in for this squad. McLeay’s experience as a left-side attacker makes her an ideal choice for the middle-back area, where she can pass and play defense with ease. She reminds us of so many other versatile athletes who have excelled with Premier Nebraska, and this is just the beginning of the journey.
