Dani Busboom Kelly has landed her first recruit as Nebraska volleyball’s head volleyball coach. Kenna Cogill, a 6-foot-4 middle blocker from Gilbert, Arizona, announced her commitment to the Huskers on Instagram Monday.

Cogill, a top-30 recruit in the 2025 class, originally signed with Oregon before head coach Matt Ulmer left Eugene to take the Kansas job. Her addition gives Nebraska a seven-player 2025 recruiting class featuring six freshmen and one transfer.

Cogill averaged 2.5 kills per set on .443 hitting and 1.3 blocks per set as a senior for Perry High School. She totaled 778 kills and 396 blocks while hitting .449 for her career.

Cogill was a club teammate with freshman outside hitter Teraya Sigler for Arizona Storm Elite. She competed alongside Sigler at Nebraska’s Dream Team Camp in 2022 and will now join her in Lincoln to play for the Huskers.

Cogill joins fellow 2025 middle blocker Manaia Ogbechie and Baylor opposite hitter transfer Allie Sczech as summer enrollees. Nebraska’s other 2025 commits — Sigler, setter Campbell Flynn, opposite hitter Ryan Hunter and defensive specialist Keri Leimbach — are already on campus and competing with the team in beach volleyball.

Nebraska is set to have four middle blockers on the roster in 2025 with Cogill and Ogbechie joining senior Rebekah Allick and junior Andi Jackson. Her addition pushes Nebraska’s roster to 16 players for Busboom Kelly’s first season, two shy of the new limit.
