As I mentioned in yesterday’s rundown of the new rankings, there are a lot of 2024s that took full advantage of this year’s club season to break out and make themselves known. We saw a lot of great performances against quality competition, and that’s the kind of thing that will get an athlete on these features.
So, on to the list!
Mallorie Meyer Mallorie Meyer 5'5" | DS/L Lincoln East | 2024 State NE – 5’5 DS/L – Norris
It has been a meteoric rise for Meyer, who showed her amazing potential with VCN this spring. She just makes the libero position look so easy. Meyer’s great defensive instincts and pinpoint ball control earned her plenty of accolades during the club season. Look for that to translate to high school competition.
Malayah Long Malayah Long 6'0" | S Lincoln Southwest | 2024 State #142 Nation NE – 6’0 S – Lincoln Southwest
Meyer’s VCN teammate is another one of our biggest stock risers in the 2024 class. Long brings an exciting combination of size, athleticism, and finesse to the setter position. VCN thrived off her leadership. This is an athlete who is poised to have a lot of big moments in her prep career.
Josie Cleveringa Josie Cleveringa 5'10" | OH North Bend Central | 2024 State NE – 5’8 OH/RS – North Bend Central
Premier 15 Gold gave us no shortage of excitement this spring, and Cleveringa helped deliver a lot of that intrigue. Her quick arm and effortless takeoff helped create some highlight moments on the right pin. Cleveringa is a small-town talent that you simply cannot miss.
Eleanor Brislen Eleanor Brislen 5'11" | OH Omaha Westside | 2024 State NE – 5’11 OH – Omaha Westside
Brislen’s mature game is hard to miss. She shows great control when picking her shots and knows how to work around the block. Better yet, this is a pin hitter that you can trust in all six rotations. Looking ahead to the fall, it’s clear that Westside has plenty of players that can help contribute to a title run.
Kayla Eggiman Kayla Eggiman 5'8" | OH Bellevue West | 2024 State NE – 5’8 OH – Bellevue West
I’ve previously mentioned that Eggiman has a great chance to expand her role with Bellevue West this fall. Luckily, this outside hitter has the skills to take on that role well. Eggiman is dedicated to bringing a well-rounded skill set to the left pin, and she’ll have an opportunity to prove herself in the years to come.
Faith Frame Faith Frame 5'6" | DS/L Papillion-La Vista | 2024 State #167 Nation NE – 5’6 DS/L – Gretna
Frame is yet another defensive specialist that has stood out over the past several months. You can put her in any zone across the backcourt, and she will deliver. Gretna has had some exceptional ball control players over the years, and Frame is looking to carry on that tradition.
Lucy Cogan Lucy Cogan 5'6" | DS/L Lincoln Southeast | 2024 State NE – 5’6 DS/L – Lincoln Southeast
Cogan is a Lincoln-area product who brings a ton of energy to the court. Her skills are equally noticeable. She has a fearless attitude as a backcourt defender and will lay out for any ball within her reach. Southeast should have a stout leader on their side for a while.
Olivia Mauch Olivia Mauch 5'7" | DS/L Bennington | 2024 State #49 Nation NE – 5’7 DS/L – Bennington
We wrap this feature up with a Nebraska Elite standout who is never intimidated by the big stage. Mauch has made a habit of digging heat against players that are all older than her. Playing a year up hasn’t stopped her from producing some great moments, and she’s only just getting started.
