RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky University's volleyball team has added two transfers for the 2026 season – Audrey Hudson, an outside hitter transferring from Wright State University, and Alexis Bull, a middle blocker/right side transferring from the University of Texas at Arlington.
 
"I'm so excited to add Audrey and Alexis to our program," EKU Head Coach Johnna Bazzani said.  "They both come from championship programs.  That alone is going to help elevate and raise the standard in our gym!"
 
The 5-foot-10 Hudson will be a junior in 2026.  In her first season at Wright State, she played in five matches before suffering a season-ending injury.  In 2025, Hudson played in 18 matches and started three times.  She averaged 0.83 kills and 1.62 digs per set.
 
Hudson, a Fort Wayne, Indiana native, played high school volleyball at Bishop Dwenger and club volleyball for Munciana.  She helped Bishop Dwenger capture a 3A State Championship in 2020.  She was a second team all-state pick in 2022 and a first team all-conference selection as a senior in 2023.
 
Bull will be a senior in 2026.  She played in 42 matches over three seasons at UT Arlington.  As a junior this past season, Bull averaged 1.03 kills and 0.66 blocks in 19 matches.  She led the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) with an average of 0.41 aces per set.  Bull had a season-best six blocks at Louisiana and a season-high seven kills against Jackson State.
 
The 6-foot-2 Magnolia, Texas native was a 4-year member of the AVCA Phenom Watch List during her high school career at Oak Ridge and Magnolia.  She recorded 878 kills, 280 blocks and 123 aces during her prep career.  Bull was chosen as First Team All-Montgomery County and as the District 19-5A Offensive Player of the Year in 2022.
 
EKU tied for second in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings this season and advanced to the ASUN Tournament championship match.   The Colonels have won 20 or more matches in three straight seasons, the first time the program has accomplished that since 2003-05.
