LAWRENCE, Kan. (KUAthletics.com) – On Wednesday, the AVCA announced that Kansas volleyball standouts Camryn Turner and Toyosi Onabanjo were named 2024 AVCA All-Americans. Turner collected third team honors, while Onabanjo was named to the honorable mention list.

Turner, the Big 12 assists/set leader, earned second-consecutive First Team All-Big 12 and First Team AVCA All-Region awards. The senior out of Topeka was also No. 3 in the NCAA for the majority of the season in assists/set, ending with an 11.29 average. She was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week once this season, and was an AVCA National Player of the Year semifinalist for the first time in her career.

After Kansas, Turner headed to Michigan to begin her professional volleyball career, as she was the first of three setters to be drafted in this year’s PVF draft. She went to the Grand Rapids Rise in the third round as the No. 22 pick overall.

Last season, Turner was an AVCA All-American Honorable Mention selection.

Onabanjo secured her first-career AVCA All-Region accolade, as well as her first Big 12 postseason award when she was named to the first team. She ended the regular season with the third-best hitting percentage in the Big 12 at .399. The Houston native also posted the No. 4 block average in the conference with 1.21 blocks per set.

When the AVCA first announced their Player of the Year Watchlist, Onabanjo was named to that early season group with her counterpart Turner. Onabanjo was drafted in the first round of the PVF draft as the No. 8 pick overall, and she will head to Omaha to play for the league-leading Supernovas.

This is Onabanjo’s first-career All-American recognition.
