Harper Murray opened up about plans for Nebraska for the upcoming 2025 season

Harper Murray concluded her 2024 season after competing in the semi-finals of the NCAA Volleyball Championships. The Nebraska Cornhuskers fell short of advancing to the finals after being bested by their opponent Penn State, who picked up their pace from the third round. Following the loss, Nebraska is geared up to enter the new season; however, it won't be under their coach John Cook, who retired.

Dani Busboom Kelly will replace Cook and emphasizing this, Murray opened up about the plans for the team for the 2025 NCAA season in a YouTube video on her team's channel.

“A lot of us wanted to win a national championship with coach. But I think the way that we can reframe that in our head is now we can win one for him. And I think that's the best way to approach this year. And you know, we can win one for coach. We can win one for Dani. We can win one for all the little girls that look up to us in Nebraska and around the country. So, I think that's how we need to reframe it for this year,” she said [1:31:01 onwards]

Harper Murray was heartbroken after she heard the news of John Cook's retirement and revealed that she burst out in tears.
