Outlook (2025-26)
Kennadi Williams hopes to see her first action as a Husker women's basketball player in her second year with the program in 2025-26. The daughter of Nebraska Head Coach Amy Williams, Kennadi sat out her true freshman basketball season at Nebraska while continuing to rehabilitate a knee injury suffered following her high school basketball senior season.
Although Williams did not gain game experience on the court as a freshman, she did play in 44 games with one start for the Nebraska softball team in the spring of 2025, helping the Big Red to an NCAA Super Regional appearance.
An accomplished three-sport star at Lincoln Southwest High School, Williams was the 2022 Lincoln Journal Star High School Female Athlete of the Year as a sophomore. The Southwest basketball, softball and soccer teams earned state tournament trips each of her four seasons on the teams.
"Kennadi has been passionate about this program since we came to Lincoln, and it is her dream to represent the Huskers and help push this program to national prominence," Williams said. "She is a tough competitor, a gifted athlete, and an amazing teammate who will do whatever it takes to help her team win. I am really looking forward to sharing this experience with her."
