K-State redshirt junior Aniya Clinton was selected to the 2025 Preseason All-Big 12 Volleyball Team, the conference announced Wednesday.

Clinton, a 6-foot-2 outside hitter and opposite, was one of 18 players named to the preseason squad. The Wildcats were picked eighth in the league’s preseason poll.

Clinton enters her third season with 448 kills and 87 blocks in her career. Last year, she played in 23 matches with 187 kills and 29 blocks. She had eight games with double-digit kills, including a career-high 25 against UCF.

In 2023, Clinton earned All-Big 12 Rookie Team honors and multiple Big 12 Rookie of the Week awards.
