COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Ole Miss volleyball program will wrap up the regular season on Sunday, traveling to face No. 21 Texas A&M at 12 p.m. CT, at Reed Arena.
The Rebels (8-17, 2-12 SEC) will matchup against the defending national champion Aggies (15-11, 8-6 SEC) in the final tune up before the 2026 Allstate SEC Tournament begins next weekend. The match will be streamed via SEC Network Plus.
RALLY POINTS
The Rebels enter the all-time series against Texas A&M trailing 22-3, searching for the program's first win in the series since 2021. The Rebels do hold a better all-time mark in College Station at 2-7.
LAST TIME OUT
The Rebels struggled to get going on the offensive end, ultimately falling 3-0 at No. 16 Texas on Friday night. Despite nine team blocks, the Rebels could not crack the Longhorn defense. Jaidyn Hartsfield led the way with six kills and eight digs, but the Rebels hit just .011 as a team in the loss.
CAM CAN
Ole Miss libero Cameron Bradley had a season debut to remember, tallying an NCAA leading 78 digs over the first three matches of the season on her way to SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors. Bradley bested her previous career-high in digs in all three matches, headlined by a 30-dig performance in the finale against LMU.
Since that time, Bradley has gotten off to a sensational start to what has been a breakout campaign. Despite currently dealing with an injury, Bradley continues to lead the SEC in digs per set with 4.93.
Bradley is in her first season as the starting libero following the graduation of all-time digs leader Cammy Niesen and has seamlessly stepped into the rotation. Bradley has also shined at the service line with 14 service aces this season.
TIME TO CROOK
The Rebels made a big splash in the transfer portal entering this season, adding UAB opposite Jorda Crook to the program. A native of Ohatchee, Ala., Crook made her mark in three seasons as a Blazer, earning two All-AAC First Team honors and taking home five AAC Player of the Week awards, becoming the first UAB volleyball player to ever accomplish the feat.
Crook follows a growing path of impact transfers into the program. Head coach Bre Henry and her staff have developed 400-kill hitters in back-to-back seasons, with Crook entering the fold on the heels of 394 kills as a junior at UAB.
Crook is off to a strong start to her Ole Miss tenure, tallying a team-high 249 kills, while also leading the team with 64.0 blocks and ranking second in with 21 service aces.
Crook made personal history against Missouri, reaching 1,000 kills in her decorated career and doing so in just 86 matches.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Head coach Bre Henry and the Ole Miss volleyball program signed four new Rebels on Wednesday, as Ryann Bothof, Addison Harris, Maria Herron and Reese Meier all inked their spot on the 2027 roster on National Signing Day.
The class is deep, as the Rebels add more depth on the pins as well as the signing of another libero in Bothof. Addison Harris has quickly made noise nationally ahead of coming to Oxford, being rated as the top player in the state of Tennessee by both Prep Dig and MaxPreps won Tennessee's 'Miss Volleyball' award for the state's top player.
Herron continues the growing pipeline from the state of Texas, as Herron is set to join Cameron Bradley, Rileigh Butler, Keirstyn Carlton, Jaidyn Hartsfield, Ryea Jackson, Coco Natarajan and Carly Paugh as native Texans on the 2027 roster.
Meier joins the program as one of the most decorated players from Idaho, hailing from the same town as current Rebel Tenesyn Frye. Meier was named the 2026 MaxPreps Idaho High School Volleyball Player of the Year, while also being named to the AVCA Girls High School All-America Watch List. Bothof will join the program from the state Virginia, where she has been named the Class 6A State Player of the Year and Libero of the Year.
THE ROAD TO 1K
After senior opposite Jorda Crook earned her 1,000th collegiate kill in a home victory over Missouri on October 2, the Rebels have their eyes on more big milestones ahead of the meat of the SEC schedule.
Shayla Meyer is seeking to join Crook at 1,000 kills, standing at 957 in her collegiate career. The fifth year is unique in all have come as a Rebel and reaching the milestone would put Meyer into the top-10 all-time in the rally scoring era at Ole Miss. Setter Vivianna Samaniego recently hit her own milestone, reaching 1,000 assists in her collegiate career on Friday at No. 16 Texas.
CLIMBING THE LADDER
Shayla Meyer enters her final collegiate season with eyes on the record books. After multiple service aces at No. 4 Kentucky, Meyer moved into a tie for third place in the rally scoring era in service aces and now has 86 in her career. Meyer is seeking to become the eighth Rebel to ever reach 100 service aces.
Her 32 aces in 2025 marked Meyer's second straight season with 30 or more service aces. A third-consecutive 30-ace season would be enough to allow Meyer to become just the second Rebel in the rally scoring era to tally 100 or more service aces and put pressure on becoming the all-time leader in the era.
Additionally, Meyer also has eyes on several longer-term milestones, including 1,000 career kills and 1,000 career digs. Meyer currently sits at 957 kills and 778 digs in her standout Rebel tenure.
SCOUTING TEXAS A&M
Fresh of the 2025 national title, head coach Jamie Morrison and the Texas A&M Aggies have done a remarkable job of rebuilding, after losing several key contributors from the run to graduation. At 15-11 and 8-6 in the SEC, the Aggies have been challenged by a difficult schedule, but have emerged with signature wins over Stanford, Creighton, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Returning for the Aggies is star Kyndal Stowers, who leads the way with 332 kills. Joining her is former Marquette standout Natalie Ring, who ranks second on the team in kills with 239 kills. The middle is also brand new, as Ohio State transfer Kaia Castle and Boise State transfer Eliza Sharp lead the way. Both have 92.0 total blocks, with Castle tallying just one more kill. Additionally, one of the biggest bright spots on the team has been the play of freshman libero Gabi Rodriguez, who has quickly built herself into one of the top liberos in the SEC with 344 total digs.
