Former Kentucky VB player Brooke Bultema transfers to rival school

A couple of days after entering her name into the transfer portal, a former Kentucky volleyball player is making the move to an in-state rival.

It was announced Friday afternoon that Brooke Bultema, who spent her first three college seasons (one being a redshirt) as a Wildcat, has transferred to the Louisville Cardinals. A 6-foot-3 middle blocker out of Cincinnati, OH, Bultema was a member of the SEC All-Freshman Team in 2024 for Kentucky. But she only appeared in 57 sets as a redshirt sophomore in 2025, less than half the amount she saw the season prior.
