The Nebraska Cornhuskers volleyball team enters the 2025 season with sky-high expectations, a new head coach in Dani Busboom Kelly, and a roster stacked with returning stars and intriguing newcomers. While veterans like Harper Murray, Rebekah Allick, Bergen Reilly, and Andi Jackson are already drawing preseason All-Big Ten honors, here are a few names who could emerge as surprise impact players this season:

๐ŸŒŸ Potential Breakout Players

2. Campbell Flynn – Freshman, Setter

  • ๐Ÿง  Flynn is the top-rated setter nationally in the Class of 2025.

  • She impressed during spring exhibitions, showing poise and control running the offense.

  • If she earns significant playing time, she could redefine Nebraska’s tempo and distribution.

3. Skyler Pierce – Redshirt Freshman, Outside Hitter

  • ๐Ÿ… Former No. 1-ranked OH recruit in the Class of 2024.

4. Teraya Sigler – Freshman, Outside Hitter
