LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Nebraska will be one of college volleyball’s main attractions in 2026. The Huskers have a national championship-caliber team loaded with superstars like Harper Murray, who’s entering her senior season. The AVCA Preseason #1 team will also be playing in some iconic venues. Nebraska opens the 2026 campaign at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, at the inaugural Spikes Under the Lights. The Huskers will also travel to Las Vegas and Chicago, where they will play an outdoor match at Wrigley Field.
Dani Busboom Kelly is entering her second year as Nebraska’s head coach. Her roster is filled with talent with most contributors from last year’s 33-win team back for this fall. Busboom Kelly said Nebraska has the best group of middle blockers in the country, led by two-time All-American Andi Jackson.
Dani Busboom Kelly on Nebraska's middle blockers:
"We've gotta have the best middle crew in the country... You can even take Andi (Jackson) out of it - the Middle Blocker of the Year last year - and we would still have the best middles in the country."#Huskers @1011_News pic.twitter.com/iesVMuGMpz
