SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Mojo has signed setter Carly Graham for the 2026 season, the organization announce on Monday. Graham currently plays with Athletes Unlimited and spent last season with the Vegas Thrill as a teammate of Mojo head coach Alisha Glass Childress.
“I’m so excited and grateful to be joining the San Diego Mojo,” Graham said. “I’m looking forward to getting the season started and getting to work with all the amazing people that the Mojo roster has.”
Last season with Vegas, Graham recorded 369 assists over 77 sets, second on the squad behind Childress, adding 23 kills, five blocks and two service aces. In 2024 with the Orlando Valkyries, she dished out 328 assists over 51 sets (6.43 assists/set) and collected 13 kills, six blocks and two service aces. She began her professional career with Galeb Liko Soho Group of the Montenegro League in 2023.
A native of Spring, Texas, Graham was five-year starting setter at Rice, where was a three-time Conference USA Setter of the Year and two-time AVCA All-American honorable mention selection, and was named to the 2022 US Women's Collegiate National team. She finished her Owl career second in school history with 510 sets played, pairing that with 4,296 assists for third, while ranking 10th with 8.42 assists for set.
Graham also spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Texas State (2023-24), working with Bobcat setters and cultivating senior setter Ryann Torres being named Sun Belt Setter of the Year. With Graham's assistance, the Bobcats reached their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024 following the team's Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship. During her first season with the Bobcats, Graham was part of a historic run to the program's first at-large appearance.
