Nebraska Volleyball's Andi Jackson reflects on playing under head coach Dani Busboom Kelly
During a press conference on April 27, 2025, via Inside Nebraska, Andi Jackson shared her thoughts on playing under the team's new head coach Dani Busboom Kelly. She mentioned [5:03 onwards]:
"It's huge. Having a coach like Dani [Busboom Kelly] who just has so much confidence in the team and so much trust in her players. It really inspires you as a player, and so even though there were nerves, it was also so much confidence going out there because we knew we had it in us like Ryan [Hunter] said and we all really brought that out of each other."
"Having a coach like Dani who's so supportive, not that coach [John Cook] wasn't, but who's just like so supportive and has just like that faith in the team you know you can go out and play freely."
In 2024, Jackson was named to the AVCA All-America First Team.
