The 2025 prospect has a great instinct for blocking and a quick, strong arm on attacks. Although her ranking isn’t very high now, she has the ability to skyrocket in numbers. However, prospect rankings do not matter at the college level, and Nebraska has proven that.
Ogbechie joins setter Campbell Flynn, outside hitter Teraya Sigler, libero Keri Leimbach and opposite hitter Ryan Hunter in Nebraska’s Class of 2025. As for NU’s middle blocker group, she’ll join Rebekah Allick and Andi Jackson in 2025.
