The Huskers’ 2025 opposite hitter group
Nebraska needed to reload after the huge loss of Beason. She had a fantastic junior season but dropped off in 2024. Her outstanding leadership will be deeply missed.
The Huskers picked up one of the two best opposites in the portal. Wisconsin added former Miami opposite Grace Lopez.
Sczech was brought in to start for the Huskers at opposite in 2025. But she will not be without competition.
Freshman Ryan Hunter is entering Nebraska as the 30th recruit in the class of 2025 by PrepDig.com. Unfortunately, the Charlotte, North Carolina native tore her ACL playing with club Triangle in the spring of 2024.
She was cleared to return to volleyball activities in December 2024. However, Nebraska might look to redshirt her in 2025 to build up her strength and spend a year developing.
Hunter has a bright future. But the addition of Sczech adds a much-needed experienced attacker to Nebraska’s roster.
