## Caption

Sometimes the best way to break the ice is with a scoop in your hand.

New Everything School host Bella Smith takes Tennessee volleyball newcomer Kennedi Rogers to Cruze Farm for ice cream, first impressions and a conversation that quickly goes beyond the court. Between sweet cream, Fruity Pebbles and plenty of laughs, Bella gets to know the personality behind one of the newest Lady Vols.

Kennedi opens up about leaving SMU after earning All-Freshman honors, starting over in Knoxville and why she believes Tennessee is the place where she can fully grow into the player she wants to become. She also shares what surprised her about SEC conditioning, the difference she has felt in Tennessee’s support for women’s athletics and why the Lady Vol legacy immediately stood out.

The conversation gets even sweeter—and much more chaotic—as Kennedi explains how her leg ended up through a Tennessee facility door, debates Nike versus Adidas, reveals her dream brand partnership and discusses the music, reality shows and TikTok trends that keep her entertained away from volleyball.
