UF Volleyball Head Coach Ryan Theis says there’s no hard feelings about Martin transferring.
“Our goal is to maximize the opportunities for our student athletes both on and off the court and at the same time create a culture that matches our values in the program,” said Theis. “As a staff and a team, we understand Kennedy’s choice and wish nothing but the best in her next chapter. I’m excited about our returning players and the additions we made to our roster in December and January. We are looking forward to getting back in the gym next week and practicing for our European trip.”
