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.
Â
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.
