Hello, I’m McKenna Brand, a libero on the volleyball team at the University of Connecticut. I’m originally from Dallas, Texas, I’ve always had a passion for competition and sports. In my freshman season at UConn, I earned the honor of 2024-2025 Big East Co-Freshman of the Year and was named to the All-Big East Freshman Team. I was also recognized as Defensive Player of the Week and Freshman of the Week in my first season. When I’m not on the court, I love staying active by playing other sports like pickleball and tennis. Spending time with my family and friends is important to me, and I enjoy winding down by watching new TV shows and movies. I'm always looking to connect with like-minded individuals and grow both as an athlete and a person.
