The tweet carried the caption, “The equivalent of having Jordan Larson as a volleyball coach is being in a band and having Taylor Swift come in and coach you.” Jordan Larson is a reigning Olympic gold medalist and a former Nebraska Husker who recently joined Nebraska’s coaching staff. Larson recently helped Team USA bag a ticket to Paris and will enter her fourth straight Olympics in 2024. 

Larson already has Olympic medals of all colors on her resume and she is all set to help the US take another gold in Paris. The coaches also said that with Taylor Swift of volleyball on their side, the Huskers now have multiple offensive options. With this, the Huskers are all girded up to play their biggest match of the season.
