"The buzz from a thrilling NCAA volleyball tournament final four in Kansas City and a Texas A&M national championship hasn't dimmed, but that doesn't mean it isn't too early to start thinking about next season. With the transfer portal already open, most of the country's players and coaches already have. Nebraska's dominance this season looked like a forgone conclusion. Then one afternoon in Lincoln, Texas A&M shocked the world and turned the run to the national championship into a wide-open affair."
"The freshman class, led by Cari Spears and Abby Vander Wal, was instrumental in getting the Longhorns back to a No. 1 NCAA tournament seed. The Longhorns' recruiting class for 2026 looks just as good with top-rated outside hitter, Henley Anderson, and top setter, Genevieve Harris. They will all still be led by Torrey Stafford, the 12th-best point producer in the country and one of the best all-around players."
Kansas City's NCAA volleyball final four and Texas A&M's national championship capped a thrilling season, but attention already turns to 2026 with the transfer portal open. Nebraska's 2025 dominance ended when Texas A&M upset them in Lincoln, creating an open national-title picture. Several elite players, including Pitt's Olivia Babcock, Nebraska's Harper Murray and Kentucky's Brooklyn DeLeye, are returning and will anchor title-hopeful teams. The transfer portal could reshape many rosters in coming weeks. Early top-10 positioning reflects current rosters and recruits, with Texas, Stanford and Nebraska among programs projected as leading contenders for next season.
