Kentucky Volleyball is preparing for the new season with high expectations after an impressive run last year, including an undefeated SEC play and an NCAA Tournament runner-up finish. As the Wildcats sit at No. 3 in the AVCA Preseason Top 25 Coaches’ Poll, head coach Craig Skinner hinted at the possibility of bringing back star outside hitter Eva Hudson for a fifth season, following new eligibility rulings. Hudson, the 2025 SEC Player of the Year, has played a full year with LOVB Atlanta, complicating her potential return amidst a strong roster that also recently added Morgan Gaerte from Notre Dame. The Wildcats kick off their season on September 5.
