Yes, Zelon announced her transfer out a few months ago, but Texas didn't issue a "Hey, thanks for everything" statement like they did for Lexi.
The VB discussion boards (ugh) say there are various reasons and various destinations (purely based on rumors).
1) She's homesick for CA
Subplot:
a) an easy excuse to leave Texas
b) she didn't get along with her teammates
c) she didn't like the style of Texas volleyball
d) she didn't like the coaches
e) something else
2) She wants to transfer to a program that's going to better develop her skills
3) Where she will transfer?
a) loud contingent trying to logically place her at USC, but USC just accepted a transfer in from Pepperdine
b) then a long discussion about scholarship limits and that "they'll make room". i.e. take away or reduce a scholarship from an existing player
c) rumors that she's headed to Minnesota - with their ex-Olympic coach who is doing quite well. This of course, breaks the "she's homesick" logic that's been thrown out there
List of current transfers, which Lexi hasn't been added to (yet), but Olivia is on there:

Now, the discussion is how we can poach/entice/lure another OH to transfer to Texas because we'll only have two OH - which I find.....ugh as well.
BTW, Lexi knows where she's going. You don't announce a transfer out without knowing where you'll be going. We just don't know where it is exactly.
