HUSKER VOLLEYBALL: Nebraska prepares for Final Four match vs. Penn State
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WOWT) – Nebraska is back in the Final Four.
The Big Red arrived in Louisville late Tuesday night and will take to the podium Wednesday for their Final Four media availability.
This is the sixth appearance in a national semifinal over the last nine years for John Cook’s Huskers. Their season ended here last year with a loss to Texas in the title game. Now, the Huskers are back on college volleyball’s biggest stage with some unfinished business.
Standing in their way Thursday will be Penn State (33-2). In their only meeting this season, the Nittany Lions beat Nebraska 3-1, forcing the two squads to share the conference title at the end of the season.
Penn State and Nebraska do battle Thursday at approximately 8 p.m. in at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky., following the conclusion of Pittsburgh vs. Louisville, which is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
Both games will be televised on ESPN and streaming on WatchESPN.

A Nebraska quarterback commit is making headlines heading into his senior season. Five-star prospect Trae Taylor has been named by Rivals as one of the ‘five high school football transfers that will make a big impact this 2026 season.’
Taylor heads into 2026 after a strong 2025 season at Carmel Catholic (IL). In 11 games, he threw 3,571 yards, 38 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also ran 77 times for 633 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The five-star quarterback is transferring to Millard South (NE) this offseason and will join a team that went 12-1 this past season and won back-to-back Class A State championships. He is taking over as the starting quarterback, replacing Jett Thomalla, who signed with Alabama.
Rivals Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes that the transfer quarterback is well-rounded and one of the stronger arms in the 2027 cycle. He also believes that the development he has shown this late in his career should be seen as a positive.
“Brings a combination of high-end arm talent and refinement to the table. Has a whippy release that uncoils quickly to generate fast arm action. Added arm strength in the off-season prior to his senior year. Can drive the football to all areas of the field with palpable zip. Rips throws out to the far hash and up the seam. Throws a tight spiral that cuts through the wind. Has proven to be accurate in multiple settings. Hyper-trained and plays with a good level of consistency as a passer.”
Taylor is also the first Cornhusker commit to ever hold the title of Elite 11 MVP. He was named the Most Valuable Player at the conclusion of The Opening Finals at Nike’s World Headquarters last month.
