Plus: A new transfer rating for Texas football
Texas Longhorns volleyball learned that two of its top players were included on this year’s Preseason All-SEC Team. That includes returning stars Torrey Stafford and Emma Halter.
From Texas Athletics:
“Stafford, the AVCA First Team All-American and All-ACC First Team honoree was selected to her first SEC Preseason Team. Stafford is one of two First-Team All-Americans on Tuesday’s list, joining Brooklyn Deleye of Kentucky. Stafford led Pitt during the 2024 season with a .358 hitting percentage, was an AVCA National Player of the Year semifinalist and was second on the team in points (457.5) and kills (400). Halter, a two-time Preseason All-SEC Team honoree, led the Longhorns last year with 344 digs and 30 service aces. The senior libero also recorded the third-most assists with 1.10 per set.”
