July 08, 2025 | Volleyball
NORMAN – Oklahoma volleyball outside hitter Alexis Shelton was named to the 2025 Preseason All-SEC Team, the league office announced Tuesday.
A rising senior, Shelton was named to the preseason team after a stellar first year in the conference where she earned first team All-SEC honors.
Shelton had a breakout junior season as she led the team with 455 kills and 4.38 kills/set. She ranked second on the team in digs with 204 and in blocks with 93.
The junior tallied double-digit kills in every meet of the season, including a season-best 27 against Texas. She recorded 20-plus kills on nine occasions and notched eight double-doubles on the year. In the season finale against Pitt, she recorded a career-high 7.0 blocks.
Shelton reached the 1,000-kill mark in 2024, the 15th Sooner to achieve the feat. Her 1,118 career kills are good for 14th all-time. Her 455 kills in 2024, place her second all-time for kills in a single season.
The preseason coaches poll was also announced Tuesday, with the Sooners picked to finish seventh in the league after a sixth-place finish in 2024. Kentucky was predicted to win the 2025 SEC crown, while three schools received first place votes.
