Nebraska Volleyball is locked and loaded for 2025. But let's talk about the real game-changers: the middle blockers. Dani Busboom Kelly isn't just taking over as head coach; she's inheriting a squad that's straight-up terrifying for opponents.
The Power Duo
First, meet Andi Jackson. Last season, she was a wall with a 1.4 blocks per set average. Jackson’s presence at the net? Straight up dominant. Her ability to read opponents is second to none, making her a nightmare for any hitter daring enough to challenge her.
Next up, Bekka Allick. She’s no second fiddle. Allick brings a blend of agility and power that's rare. Her 0.350 hitting percentage last year tells you everything. She knows how to finish points and will be crucial in those tight sets.
The Dani Effect
Dani Busboom Kelly knows how to win. Period. She’s no stranger to pressure, having coached Louisville to multiple deep runs. Her first year with Nebraska? Expect fireworks. Kelly’s coaching style will only enhance the Huskers' already formidable blocking game. You can almost feel the anticipation.
Why They Matter
The Huskers are ranked No. 1 for a reason. Not only do they have depth, but their middle blockers are the backbone. They set the tone. No answer for that. When Jackson and Allick are on the court, it's not just about scoring. It's about sending a message: Nebraska is here to run the show.
And from there… it was over. The middle blockers will be the difference-makers. Nebraska has the tools, the talent, and the coaching. Don't blink, because this team isn't just good—they're a problem for everyone else.
That'll do it.
