Bergen Reilly recently opened up on the Nebraska Volleyball team’s feat of yet another year with no players entering the transfer portal. The Nebraska Women’s Volleyball team entered the 2026 season with no players, including Kenna Cogill, Teraya Sigler, Ryan Hunter, and others transferring to other programs.
These players announced their return to the Big Red Team before the transfer portal concluded. The Huskers team ended their 2025 season under the guidance of Coach Dani Busboom Kelly on December 14 after a loss against Texas A&M in the NCAA regional final.
Before their pursuit of the NCAA Championship title ended, they registered 33 consecutive wins and remained dominant. Although the program concluded the 2025 season on a bitter note, they earned a rare success by closing the transfer portal with zero transfers for the second straight season.
In an interview with Hurrdat Sports, Reilly reflected on this feat, stating that the program has the best fans in the country and a great culture, which does not make a player feel like leaving the program.
“Why would you wanna leave? We have the best fans in the country. We have such a great culture like we’re playing with our best friends. We have such a great staff that just really love us and care about us and so I think that it’s we don’t really talk about it. It’s just kind of like a everybody knows that Nebraska’s where they wanna be.”
This was the first transfer portal, which ended on January 15, 2026. The next portal will open between May 1 and 15.
