There were plenty of reasons to get excited about the 2022 club season. Getting to see Nebraska’s 2025s compete was certainly high on my list, and that has yielded some fresh faces to discuss on our newest set of rankings.
So, here’s an overview of who was added to the Nebraska 2025 rankings.
Gleason is one of a few players that have entered the 2025 rankings after playing up in the 16s age group this year. The Beatrice middle blocker brings so much heat in front of the setter and was a constant source of energy in the Nebraska Juniors gym.
Hart’s vital role with Premier 15 Gold this season cannot be overlooked. She surged late in the team’s 2022 campaign and had a another great showing at USAV Nationals last month. Expect more of the same from Hart with Gretna.
Highlights
Gwinn can do a little bit of everything on the volleyball court, and she showed off that versatility with Nebraska Elite. She’s one of those setter-opposite hybrid players who finds any way possible to make an impact. Be sure to monitor Gwinn’s progress with Omaha Skutt in the coming years as we try to figure out which position suits her best.
Highlights
Club Legacy 15 Alpha had no shortage of backcourt leaders in 2022. Braithwaite was one of the talented defensive specialists on the roster, and she was particularly good at adapting to a variety of positions along the end line. Whether she was in the libero jersey or subbing in for a frontcourt attacker, Braithwaite was bound to step up in clutch situations.
Highlights
Here’s another athlete who stood out while playing up. Congrove has ample experience in a variety of roles for River City, including playing middle-back defense in the libero jersey or anchoring zone one as a primary defensive specialist.
Now we’ll hop over to River City’s 15 Navy squad for another new libero entry in the 2025 rankings. Faiman’s presence in the back row was valuable in so many ways. She passed well, played consistent floor defense, and was always around to cover her hitters off the block.
Highlights
We’re going to keep looking for small-town talents to put on our 2025 rankings, and Goes is a great representative for that group. The Cortland native put together quite a highlight reel while playing libero for Nebraska ONE 15 Lime and will likely build on that momentum in the fall.
Highlights
Let’s get a River City Jrs attacker in the mix here. Hartigan took a high volume of swings for 15 Navy this spring and is always a tough attacker to stop when she’s in a rhythm.
Fremont fans will already be familiar with the Hofer name. Bryleigh is her own brand, though, as she takes on an important ball control role for any team she’s on. That helped Club Legacy during this year’s club season, and Hofer’s stint with the Tigers should be no different.
How about another 2025 athlete with strong family ties? Indeed, another Hrbek middle blocker is coming up the Premier Nebraska pipeline, and I’m excited to see this 15 Red athlete compete with Elkhorn North on the high school side. The Wolves are stacking talent quickly.
Nebraska Juniors 16 Red did not shy away from using its 2025 middle blockers. Jochum joins Gleason on the “playing-up brigade” for this team and was especially efficient when attacking off one foot.
Lindsay will do just about anything you can ask from a left-side hitter. She carried crucial passing and attacking roles for Omaha Central last fall and is poised to hone those skills even more heading into the new season.
Omaha Westside is another school that can take advantage of some young talent in the years to come. Lowe is one name to know, and she cemented her place in the rankings with an impressive pin-hitting display for Premier 15 Red this spring.
Highlights
McAdams’ club season carried all the way into late July when she competed with the Great Plains all-star team in Tulsa. It was a great venue to show what this multi-talented attacker can do. Weeping Water will likely find some unique ways to get McAdams the ball, as she has a knack for putting the ball away.
Tack on yet another Club Legacy libero. Muhlecke, like many of her teammates, got a shot in a few different backcourt roles this year. She can use that valuable experience to gain an edge at Omaha Marian, a school that became accustomed to a young starting lineup in 2021.
We’ll revisit the Premier 15 Red lineup to mention Palmer’s addition to the 2025 rankings. She is comfortable on either pin, a valuable trait that is particularly notable in the 15s age group.
Schuka is another Gretna native who thrived at the defensive specialist spot for River City Jrs. This area just keeps churning out quality defenders, and we’ll probably keep adding more when the high school season gets rolling.
Highlights
Siebert makes the quick hop from Seward to compete in the VCN gym with 15 Elite. Her long frame and fluid approach are quite an asset in the frontcourt, and Siebert appears ready for a big-time high school campaign with the Bluejays.
Wendt’s physicality is tough to overlook. When she wasn’t locking down the net for 15 Alpha, Wendt was usually there to provide some great positive energy to Club Legacy’s talented lineup. The team’s presence on this new additions feature is no fluke.
