Wisconsin, Nebraska Name Captains for 2025 Volleyball Season

The 2025 college volleyball season has seen key leadership announcements from two prominent Big Ten programs. The University of Wisconsin named Carter Booth, a seasoned middle blocker with notable block and kill stats, and Charlie Fuerbringer, an assist leader and AVCA National Player of the Year watchlist member, as team captains. Nebraska volleyball appointed three first-time captains: setter Bergen Reilly, middle blockers Rebekah Allick and Andi Jackson, all of whom boast impressive accolades including AVCA All-American honors and Big Ten awards. Reilly is a two-time Big Ten Setter of the Year and led Nebraska with numerous assists and double-doubles, while Jackson and Allick have been recognized for their high hitting percentages and blocking prowess. Nebraska, ranked preseason No. 1, opens their season at the AVCA First Serve showcase, while Wisconsin, ranked No. 8, will begin with The Opening Spike Classic. Both teams are set to face strong competition early in the season, highlighting their leadership as they prepare for challenging schedules.
