Alief Taylor's Omotola Oguns

This fall, Oguns is among the handful of returners expected to help push the program forward — not just with her play, but with the experience and perspective she’s accumulated in the short span of her career.
“In order for us to see that kind of success again, it’s going to require a similar level of connection that we still have, if not more so,” she said. “We’re already really close with each other, so now it’s just about how we work out the kinks, stay in tune, and build on that connection.”

That team-first mindset has been a major part of Oguns’ development. She cites confidence as the area where she’s grown most — not just in her individual ability, but in how she understands the dynamics of the game and what drives team performance.
“Coming into the game, I didn’t always have that level of assurance in my ability that I do now,” Oguns said. “The reason I’ve been able to address that, I think, relates to the chemistry with my teammates and figuring out what makes each of us click.”
Oguns’ foundation extends beyond the court. Her older sister, Oluwabusola Oguns — a former Taylor volleyball player now attending Texas State University — remains a steady influence in her life.

“After God, I’d definitely say that my sister has been one of the more impactful figures for me,” she said. “Even after the two years we spent here together, she’s still giving me advice when it comes to classes and how to balance volleyball with my education and social life. Her experience has become mine, in a way, and that’s not something I take lightly.”
It’s also how she earned her nickname, “Lowercase.” During their overlapping time at Taylor, the pair was known as “Mini-O” and “Big O,” a reference to the first letter of their names. Eventually, the shorthand evolved into something uniquely hers — a symbol of both connection and individuality.
When she’s not on the court, Oguns competes in the shot put during track season and stays sharp by bingeing her favorite shows — from Avatar: The Last Airbender to Attack on Titan.
Heading into her final season, Oguns brings the kind of perspective that can’t be coached — earned over time, shaped by family, and sharpened by the game itself.
