Personal: Still deciding on intended major. Son of Carrie and Bruce Kornaus. Has one brother, Kaden, who is also a member of the St. Norbert men’s volleyball team. Birthdate is Feb. 21.

Coach Bryant on Kornaus…
“Bennett has positioned himself to be a huge part of our team's on-court success in 2025. He has added to his attack height and strength over the year and, in my opinion, is ready for a breakout season. He possesses the ability to play either pin and is capable of defending multiple back row positions which will make him an important piece of our effort to make the postseason."
