Omoruyi Flips Commitment From Nebraska to Texas A&M

Kendall Omoruyi changed her college commitment from Nebraska to Texas A&M on Nov. 5, 2026, after previously committing to Nebraska on June 16, 2025. Omoruyi announced the change on Instagram, thanking Nebraska coach Dani Busboom Kelly.

Why it matters

Omoruyi said she has changed as a person and her vision for her future has changed too. The switch leaves Nebraska with four players in its Class of 2027 and two open roster spots.

Omoruyi is ranked No. 3 overall in the Class of 2027 and the top middle blocker in the class, standing 6-foot-4 and averaging 2.8 kills per set with a .437 hitting percentage and 0.8 blocks per set as a senior. Nebraska now has two open roster spots for 2027, and the status of its four seniors remains unknown.

The details

Omoruyi plays high school volleyball for Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth, California, and won a gold medal with the 2026 USA Women's U21 National Team at the U23 Pan American Cup. The Instagram announcement marked the second commitment decision in her recruitment, following her June 2025 pledge to Nebraska.

Recruiting Landscape

Omoruyi holds the No. 3 overall spot in PrepVolleyball.com's Class of 2027 rankings, and her move from Nebraska to Texas A&M reshuffles how top recruits are distributed among programs in that class. Changes like this one shift the competitive balance for the rosters involved as the class takes shape.

The change removes one of the top middle blockers from Nebraska's 2027 recruiting class and opens space for the program to target replacements. Texas A&M gains a 6-foot-4 middle blocker ranked No. 3 nationally in the class for future rotations.

The takeaway

Commitments in recruiting can change even after a recruit has publicly signed on, so fans tracking a class should watch for late moves. Rankings like PrepVolleyball.com's offer a snapshot of talent, but team fit and personal priorities often drive the final decision.
