Jul 08, 2025 | Volleyball
BIRMINGHAM – Texas A&M volleyball's Logan Lednicky and Ifenna Cos-Okpalla were named to the 2025 Preseason All-SEC Team, while the Aggies were projected to finish third in the league's annual preseason coaches' poll announced Tuesday.
During the conference's preseason voting, the Aggies were tabbed for a third-place finish with 195 points, while also receiving one first-place vote. The Maroon & White are coming off a trip to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 and their highest win total since 2019, as they concluded the 2024 campaign with a 21-8 record, 10-6 ledger in league play. The team returns 11 players from last season's roster, while adding the No. 7 recruiting class in the nation and a dynamic outside hitter from the transfer portal.
A&M also garnered a pair of Preseason All-SEC Team selections, as the duo of Lednicky and Cos-Okpalla were named to the group of 15 athletes. This is Lednicky's third-straight preseason nod, as she recorded the second-highest kills per set total (4.47) and third-highest kill total (492) in a single season in A&M history last year during her impressive junior campaign. Cos-Okpalla made it back-to-back appearances on the league's preseason squad following her standout season, where she led the team with 161 blocks and averaged 1.46 blocks per set which ranked second and third, respectively, in the Maroon & White's history books.
