Texas A&M volleyball’s memorable 2025 season ended with the program’s first National Championship, led by a complete team effort, resulting in the Aggies’ historic run inthe NCAA Tournament that included a reverse sweep against 3-seed Louisville, and an epic 5-set win over No. 1 Nebraska in Lincoln, and back-to-back sweeps over 1-seed Pitt and 1-seed Kentucky in the Title Game.

Led by nine seniors, including Aggie legacy Logan Lednicky, Texas A&M head coach Jamie Morrison has accomplished his primary goal in just his third season at the helm, and can thank Lednicky and the eight other seniors for staying the course and ultimately achieving their dreams in the process.

Hours after Texas A&M’s Championship victory, it was assumed that Lednicky would pursue a professional volleyball career. On Friday afternoon, it was confirmed that the Sugar Land, Texas native had signed her first professional contract with League One Volleyball (LOVB) Houston.

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M volleyball’s Logan Lednicky signed her first professional contract with League One Volleyball (LOVB) Houston, the organization announced Friday.
 

Staying in the Lone Star State, Lednicky joins the Houston based LOVB team after spearheading the Aggies to the program’s first national title. The opposite hitter etched her name in Texas A&M history, as she broke the program rally-scoring record for career kills concluding her four years with 1,686.
 
“I’m so excited for Logan [Lednicky] to start her professional career,” head coach Jamie Morrison said. “Since taking over this program, it’s been our goal to help set up out athletes for the next step after college and seeing it come to fruition is incredible. Logan has developed every year she has been at Texas A&M and has all the skills necessary to succeed at the next level.”
 
The Sugar Land, Texas, native developed a well-rounded game throughout her four years but offensively is where she excelled. She recorded double-digit kills in 94 matches during her career, including 23 straight to conclude the 2025 campaign which led to a national crown.
 
Lednicky showed her versatility during her time in Aggieland, racking up 379 blocks which ranks 11^th in program history and secured back-to-back 100-block seasons in her junior and senior campaigns. She also tacked on 808 digs which helped account for 28 career double-doubles.
 
Cementing herself as an all-time great for the program, she received a pair of AVCA Second Team All-America honors, was a four-time All-SEC and All-Region selection, AVCA Player of the Year Semifinalist, NCAA Tournament Team recipient, NCAA Regional Most Outstanding Player and five-time SEC weekly award winner.  
 
The pin hitter got her international career started this past summer, as she received her first senior-national team call up for the United States and was named to the Volleyball Nation’s League roster for the opening two weeks in Brazil and Serbia. She competed in seven of the eight matches over the two weeks, tallying 43 points on 38 kills and five blocks, while adding 26 digs.
