In a move that has Husker Nation buzzing and volleyball fans across the country taking notice, **15-year-old setter phenom Malorie Boesiger** has officially committed to the **University of Nebraska**, becoming the first pledge in the Huskers’ 2027 recruiting class. A sophomore at Norris High School just south of Lincoln, Boesiger’s decision is more than a commitment—it’s a declaration that the next generation of greatness is already on its way to Devaney.
Boesiger, already ranked among the top setters in the nation for her class, brings a rare blend of court vision, quick hands, and leadership well beyond her years. At just 5-foot-9, she commands the floor like a seasoned veteran, orchestrating plays with precision and poise. Her ability to read defenses, deliver pinpoint sets, and elevate the tempo of a match has made her one of the most coveted young players in the country.
Despite receiving interest from over 10 top-tier programs, Boesiger made it clear that her heart was always in Nebraska. “I’m staying home!!!” she wrote in her announcement, thanking her coaches, teammates, and family for helping her reach this milestone. Her commitment also continues a family legacy—her sister, Maise Boesiger, is currently a senior defensive specialist for the Huskers.
What makes this moment even more special is the timing. Nebraska is entering a new era under head coach **Dani Busboom Kelly**, who takes over following the retirement of legendary coach John Cook. Boesiger’s early commitment signals confidence in the program’s direction and a belief in the culture that has made Nebraska volleyball a national powerhouse.
Boesiger’s high school résumé already sparkles. She helped lead Norris to a **Class B state title in 2024**, following a runner-up finish her freshman year. Averaging over 11 assists per set, she’s not just a playmaker—she’s a game-changer. And with two more seasons of high school volleyball ahead of her, the ceiling is nowhere in sight.
Her commitment also fills a strategic need for Nebraska. With current star setter Bergen Reilly entering her junior season and freshman Campbell Flynn arriving as the reigning Gatorade National Player of the Year, the Huskers are stacked in the short term. But Boesiger’s arrival in 2027 ensures the setter pipeline remains elite for years to come.
For Nebraska fans, this is more than a recruiting win—it’s a glimpse into the future. A future where the next great Husker is already dreaming big, working hard, and choosing to build her legacy right at home. And for Malorie Boesiger, the journey is just beginning.
She may still have algebra homework and weekend tournaments, but make no mistake: the volleyball world is officially on notice.
