MINNEAPOLIS — Gopher volleyball's Taylor Landfair, who was named the Big Ten Player of the Year in 2022, announced on Monday that she will transfer to Nebraska.

Landfair said she was leaving the University of Minnesota shortly after a middling season that ended with a loss to Creighton in the second round of playoffs. Throughout the year, the outside hitter struggled in serve receive, though her attack percentage improved as the season went on.

Now, she'll continue her career at the second-ranked program in the country, which just came off a loss in the NCAA finals to Texas. Nebraska touts their large fanbase — so large that they filled a football stadium with over 92,000 people to watch a women's volleyball game last August. They statistically are one of the best defensive teams in the country and are always in contention for a national title.
