Indiana volleyball’s historic season came to end after a loss to the University of Texas at Austin on Dec. 12 in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament. However, since the loss, the Hoosiers have already begun assembling their roster for next season.
Indiana gained a new asset to its roster in middle blocker Keondreya Granberry, according to an Instagram post Tuesday. The 6-foot-3 University of Tennessee transfer was sidelined for most of her senior season in 2025 with an injury. However, in 2024, Granberry averaged 1.93 kills and .93 blocks per set while maintaining a .455 average hitting percentage.
She finished her Tennessee career ranked second all-time in career hitting percentage at .372 and ranked eighth in program history in career blocks per set.
After the 2025 season came to end, the Hoosiers lost valuable pieces to their roster in outside hitters Candela Alonso-Corcelles and Jessica Smith, middle blocker Madi Sell and opposite hitter Avry Tatum.
In turn, Indiana is bringing in a nationally ranked freshman class for the second consecutive season. As of National Signing Day (Nov. 12), all three incoming freshmen in setter Mallory Matheny, outside hitter Sara Snowbarger and defensive specialist Ellie Hepler were ranked top 60 in the Prep Volleyball Rankings.
The NCAA Women’s Volleyball winter transfer portal opened Dec. 7 and will close Jan. 5. In that window, Indiana volleyball will look to continue stacking pieces to replenish the highly talented 2025 roster that led the Hoosiers to a 25-8 overall record and first NCAA Tournament appearance in 15 years.
