Outlook (2027-28)
The top player in the state of Nebraska entering the 2026-27 season, Addison Medeck has been ranked as the No. 8 prospect at center in the nation and among the top 50 players overall in the class of 2027 by 247 Sports.
The 6-3 forward/center from Papillion-La Vista South High School averaged 16.5 points and 12.2 rebounds per game while hitting 59 percent of her shots from the field as a junior in 2025-26 to help her claim a No. 78 national ranking in the ESPN Sports Center NEXT 100.
A second-team All-Nebraska selection as a junior, she was a first-team Class A all-state pick and All-Metro performer for Coach Andy Gerlecz at Papio South in 2026. She was also a second-team Class A all-state choice as a sophomore after earning honorable-mention Class A all-state accolades as a freshman in 2024.
“We are thrilled to officially add Addison Medeck to Husker women’s basketball," Nebraska Head Coach Amy Williams said. "She brings size, mobility and an aggressive rebounder into our frontcourt and a tough interior presence with great potential to stretch the floor. I’m most excited for the intangibles with Addison. She plays with a great motor and energy, she is extremely coachable, has a strong desire to improve and is a vocal and encouraging teammate.”
Before Nebraska (Papillion-La Vista South)
Medeck averaged 16.5 points and 12.2 rebounds per game while hitting 59 percent of her shots from the field as a junior in 2025-26 to help her claim a No. 78 national ranking in the ESPN Sports Center NEXT Top 100.
She earned second-team All-Nebraska honors as a junior and was a first-team Class A all-state pick and All-Metro selection in 2026. She was also a second-team Class A all-state choice as a sophomore after earning honorable-mention Class A all-state accolades as a freshman in 2024.
Medeck enters her senior season with 792 career points and a school-record 618 career rebounds. Over her first three seasons, she has averaged 12.8 points and 10 rebounds per game, while hitting 55 percent of her field goal attempts and 71 percent of her free throws.
She scored a career-high 28 points and grabbed a school-record 22 rebounds in a game.
Medeck also starred for the two-time Class A state track and field champions at Papio South. She captured a silver medal in the shot put at the Class A meet as a junior, after taking fourth in the shot at the state meet as a sophomore. She was coached by Jerrid Johansen, Matthew Peitz and George Drinnin. Johansen is the brother of former Nebraska starting point guard Jina Johansen.
Medeck played for ETG Midwest Elite out of Council Bluffs (Iowa) coached by Ann Prince and Andy Markowski, winning the 3SSB 17U national title in 2024. It is the same program that current Husker Britt Prince played for during her prep career.
An outstanding student, Medeck was an Academic All-State selection in 2026 and was named the Papillion-La Vista South honor rolls every year.
Personal
The daughter of John and Becky Medeck, Addison has an older brother, Ian, and an older sister, Lauren. Addison plans to major in elementary education with an emphasis in special education at Nebraska.
She chose Nebraska over Missouri, Iowa, Utah, Northwestern and Drake among more than a dozen offers.
"I chose Nebraska because I love the way they utilize their posts and forwards within their offense," Medeck said. "They are constantly moving, involved in the action, and given so many opportunities to score. I also fell in love with the girls and coaching staff. We connected right away, and the time I spent with them just felt right.
"They also gave me so much insight into how they envision developing me as a player and
utilizing my skill set to help the team. Another thing that made Nebraska special to me was the opportunity to stay close to my community and have the people who have supported me throughout my journey come watch and cheer me on. I think having that support so close to home will make the experience even more meaningful and special."
