The Risers: Stars Shining as Recruiting Heats Up

With every day that passes, the more intently programs are looking at and into athletes! Prospects that will carry on programs’ legacies for years to come are those that are showing out during these pivotal months! Here are some recruits that have been performing exceptional well as of late, and in turn, receiving a PPV BOOST!

​

Nafanua Alofipo - 2027, Setter, Club V 18 Reed, PPV 210

She was highlighted recently on the site for great reason! Playing alongside incoming Texas star Taylor Harvey, Nua has led Club V through a quality club circuit and has shown her elite IQ and play style that has been leaving marks on coaches. Her strong hands and quick feet add to her all-around smooth game, which has her rising in her class!

​

Ella Olson - 2027, Outside, Tstreet 16-Andy, PPV 240

Ever since I saw Olson play for the first time, I knew she was a star. Despite her smaller stature, she stands OUT and UP with her play, excelling in each and every skill. Put her in the front row, and she will get up and crush the ball. Put her in the back row and she will keep her team in system like it’s nobody’s business before she can step back and take a quick approach from the pipe! Her skill level is only increasing, and that is SCARY!

​

Isabella Lopez - 2027, Opposite, Tribe 16 Elite Cardinal, PPV 218

With her fiery left arm, Lopez is swinging her way to a strong summer camp lineup! Earning an invite to the UA Next Summer Series, her recognition will only continue to grow!

​

Keilani Ledaja-Brewer - 2027, Outside, Triangle 17 Black, PPV 255

Athleticism-wise, not many can compete with Keilani, and that is what will set her apart at the next level. With each and every tournament she has played, her consistency has improved and improved, allowing her physical qualities to take center stage, jumping out of the gym on every single approach!

​

Ella Zieske - 2028, Outside, Northern Lights 15-1, PPV 181

This freshman is making a move! Emerging as a top six-rotation pin in the class of 2028, the value for a player that can do it all is as high as ever, and Zieske should be able to take full advantage of that by the time June 15, 2026, rolls around! Keep your eyes on this freshman!
