Video: "He's an incredible coach, and an even better friend"

When Jerritt Elliott was hired as the seventh head coach in Texas Volleyball history in the spring of 2001, he was tasked with returning the Longhorns back to national prominence. In 25 seasons, Elliott has accomplished that – and more – building one of the nation’s premier programs while leading Texas to three National Championships.

Elliott guided the Longhorns to the 2012 NCAA National Championship, the program’s third national title and second in the NCAA era. A decade later, he returned Texas to the pinnacle of collegiate volleyball by leading the Longhorns to the 2022 NCAA National Championship before repeating as national champions in 2023.

Elliott, who owns a 685-137 career record in 27 seasons as a collegiate head coach and a 635-125 mark in 25 years at Texas, has guided the Longhorns to 19 NCAA Regional Final appearances, 11 NCAA Semifinal appearances and seven NCAA Championship match appearances (2009, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2020, 2022 and 2023), as well as 19 Top 10 finishes in the last 20 season. His sustained success made him the winningest coach in program history, surpassing Mick Haley’s 522 victories (1980-96), while helping transform Gregory Gym into one of the nation’s premier volleyball venues.

Elliott has developed a reputation as one of the nation’s premier recruiters and talent developers. His 2011 signing class marked Texas’ first No. 1-ranked recruiting class after previously signing four classes ranked No. 2 nationally. Elliott’s philosophy of recruiting “to win national championships,” rather than simply filling roster needs, has paid dividends throughout his career. His final two recruiting classes at USC helped capture back-to-back NCAA National Championships in 2002 and 2003.

At Texas, the groundwork for success was laid with his very first signing class in 2001 that included eventual All-Americans Mira Topic and Bethany Howden. The signing of the 2003 incoming class - Armstrong, Jenny Andrew, Magee and Jessica Curtis - solidified the team’s depth two years later. Even without the addition of sophomore transfer Dariam Acevedo, the 2003 class was ranked second by Volleyball Magazine and helped lay the foundation for Texas’ future successes.

A year later in 2004, Elliott and his staff added Moriarty, Jen Christian and Alyson Jennings. In 2005, height and physicality were added with the inclusion of the team’s 6-5 middles, Paolini and RuthAnn Feist, and a back-row stalwart in Kiley Hall.

The addition of two more Top 10 prep players in 2006 and 2007 - including the player in the 2006 class whom pundits described as one of the most versatile in her age group, Engle. Texas Volleyball continued on its push toward a deep NCAA Championship run behind the powerful hitting of Engle and Hooker, as well as pair of Top three prep players - Faucette and Jennifer Doris. Texas added No. 3 national recruit Rachael Adams in 2008 and No. 1 national recruit Bailey Webster and No. 5 national recruit Sha’Dare McNeal in 2009 to bolster the already youthful Longhorns’ roster. In 2011, Elliott added another group of Longhorn recruits in No. 2 recruit Khat Bell, No. 5 recruit Haley Eckerman and No. 13 national recruit Madelyn Hutson. The 2012 class was ranked No. 2 nationally with four Top 20 players: No. 1 recruit Molly McCage, No. 6 Nicole Dalton, No. 9 Sara Hattis and No. 18 Amy Neal. Elliott returned to the No. 1 spot with his 2017 class, welcoming No. 1 recruit Lexi Sun, No. 2 Brionne Butler, No. 6 Ashley Shook, and Olivia Zelon. The 2019 class featured No. 1 overall recruit Skylar Fields and a top-50 selection Molly Phillips.

Elliott’s ability to identify and develop elite talent is well documented. Since 2002, Elliott has developed 41 student-athletes who have earned 86 All-America honors.

On the conference level, Texas made an immediate impact after joining the SEC, earning four All-SEC honors in its inaugural season and six in its second year, while Elliott guided 42 players to 106 All-Big 12 selections, including at least four honorees in 16 of the conference’s final 17 seasons for the Longhorns.

Ten players combined to earn 14 Big 12 Player of the Year awards under Elliott: Mira Topic (2004), Destinee Hooker (2009), Juliann Faucette (2010), Bailey Webster (2011), Haley Eckerman (2012, 2013, 2014), Amy Neal (2015), Chiaka Ogbogu (2017), Micaya White (2018), Logan Eggleston (2020, 2021, 2022) and Madisen Skinner (2023). Texas also produced nine Big 12 Freshman of the Year recipients, including three consecutive winners in Ashley Engle (2006), Faucette (2007) and Kori Kocher (2008), as well as back-to-back honorees Logan Eggleston (2018) and Skylar Fields (2019).

Elliott’s success has earned national recognition throughout his career. He was named AVCA National Coach of the Year in 2012 and has been selected AVCA Region Coach of the Year seven times (2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2021 and 2022). He also earned Big 12 Coach of the Year honors a conference-record nine times (2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022).

Prior to arriving at Texas, Elliott was named Pac-10 Coach of the Year in both 1999 and 2000 while leading USC. He also earned AVCA Pacific Region Coach of the Year honors in 2000 after guiding the Women of Troy to their first NCAA Final Four appearance in 15 seasons and their first-ever share of the Pac-10 title.

In his 25th season at Texas, Elliott guided the Longhorns to a 26-4 record and their 18th NCAA Regional Final appearance in the last 20 seasons. Texas swept through the opening two rounds of the NCAA Tournament for the 21st consecutive year before falling to Wisconsin in the regional final. Torrey Stafford earned AVCA First Team All-America honors, Cari Spears was named to the Third Team and Emma Halter received Honorable Mention recognition.

Texas finished 13-2 in SEC play in 2025 and placed six players on the All-SEC teams. Stafford earned First Team honors, Spears was named to the First Team and All-Freshman Team, Halter received Second Team recognition, and Abby Vander Wal and Taylor Harvey were selected to the All-Freshman Team. Stafford was also named the AVCA Southwest Region Player of the Year and an AVCA National Player of the Year semifinalist, while Spears earned AVCA Southwest Region Freshman of the Year honors.

In 2024, Texas opened its SEC era by posting a 20-7 record and advancing to the NCAA Regional Semifinals for the 19th consecutive season. Madisen Skinner earned All-SEC First Team honors, AVCA Second Team All-America recognition and a spot on the State College Regional All-Tournament Team. Marianna Singletary joined Skinner on the All-SEC First Team, Reagan Rutherford earned Second Team honors and Ayden Ames was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team.

The 2023 season concluded with Texas capturing its second consecutive NCAA National Championship, becoming just the ninth Longhorn program to win back-to-back national titles. The Longhorns finished 28-4 and swept Nebraska in the national championship match. Madisen Skinner was named NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Player after earning Big 12 Player of the Year honors, while Asjia O’Neal, Emma Halter and Ella Swindle joined her on the NCAA Championship All-Tournament Team. Skinner and O’Neal were also recognized as AVCA First Team All-Americans, capping O’Neal’s career with her second straight national championship.

Ten years after winning his first national championship, Elliott led Texas back to the top of the NCAA Volleyball world by winning the 2022 National Championship with a 28-1 overall record. The Longhorns advanced to the program’s 14th Final Four and defeated San Diego in a tough semifinal match before sweeping Louisville in the National Championship match in Omaha, Nebraska. Eggleston was named the AVCA National Player of the Year and Final Four Most Outstanding Player after leading the Longhorns with 19 kills in the championship match. Selected as the No. 1 overall seed in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, the Longhorns spent 13 of 14 weeks ranked in the top spot during the season. Elliott and Texas won the program’s sixth-consecutive Big 12 Championship and placed a record six players on the All-Big 12 First Team. Eggleston, who was named Big 12 Player of the Year for the third time, led a group of six players on the All-America teams including fellow first teamers Zoe Fleck and Asjia O’Neal.

Texas opened the 2021 season with an 18-0 record and spent the first 10 weeks of the season ranked No. 1 in the AVCA poll. The Longhorns would lose just one regular season match and earn the No. 2 national seed in the NCAA Tournament before falling in the Regional Final to eventual runner-up Nebraska. The appearance in the NCAA Regional Final was the Longhorns’ 15^th in the last 16 seasons. Logan Eggleston was recognized as the VolleyballMag.com National Player of the Year, while Brionne Butler earned first team All-America recognition. Skylar Fields and Asjia O’Neal were also recognized as All-Americans. Elliott picked up his eighth Big 12 Coach of the Year award and his sixth AVCA Region Coach of the Year honor.

The 2020 season saw Texas return to the Final Four and the NCAA Championship match, coming up short against Kentucky to finish as the NCAA Runner Up. The season was unlike any other due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Longhorns sweeping through the Big 12 schedule during the Fall of 2020 before playing a spring non-conference schedule to prepare for the NCAA Tournament. Texas earned the No. 4 overall seed at the tournament, hosted entirely in Omaha, Nebraska, and defeated No. 13 Penn State, No. 5 Nebraska and No. 1 Wisconsin on the way to the title match. The Longhorns landed five players on the AVCA All-American teams, led by first teamers Logan Eggleston and Brionne Butler. Additionally, Jhenna Gabriel was named to the third team and Skylar Fields and Asjia O'Neal received Honorable Mention All-America accolades. Eggleston had a highly decorated season, being named the Big 12 Player of the Year, Big 12 Student-Athlete of the Year and AVCA Southwest Regional Player of the Year.

In 2017, Texas posted its 10th Big 12 Conference title after finishing its second undefeated league record in Longhorn Volleyball history. Senior Chiaka Ogbogu earned UT’s seventh Big 12 Player of the Year award, while five additional Longhorns were named All-Big 12 (Nwanebu, McCoy, White, Sun, Shook). Ogbogu became Texas’ all-time blocks leader, while fellow senior Cat McCoy broke the all-time digs record. The Longhorns made their 14th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance, selected as the No. 6 seed and advancing to an NCAA record 12th-straight NCAA Regional Final after defeating Fairfield, NC State, and Utah, eventually falling to No. 3-seed Stanford in Palo Alto. Six players earned All-America honors led by Ogbogu on the First Team and White on the Third Team.

The 2016 season was not short on drama, as the Longhorns entered the season ranked No. 2 and finished the season ranked No. 2 after falling in the NCAA Championship match. The Horns finished second in the Big 12 Conference, with freshman Micaya White collecting Freshman of the Year honors. Texas entered its 13th-straight NCAA Tournament with a No. 4 seed and a 22-4 record, winning five-straight matches to advance to its third NCAA Championship match in five years. The Longhorns hosted the first four matches of the tournament, defeating UTRGV and SMU in the first and second rounds. They welcomed BYU and Creighton in the regional rounds, coming back to defeat BYU in five sets and sweeping the Bluejays to advance to their eighth NCAA Semifinal in the last nine years. Texas found redemption in its defeat of No. 1 Nebraska in the Final Four in Columbus, Ohio, before falling to Stanford, 3-1 in the title match. Four players earned All-America honors, including White and junior Ebony Nwanebu, who were named to the First Team, senior Chloe Collins, who earned Second Team honors, and senior Paulina Prieto Cerame, who landed on the Honorable Mention list. White also earned National Freshman of the Year accolades from VolleyballMag.com.

In 2015, the Longhorns entered the season ranked No. 3 and did not fall out of the top five all season, ending in the No. 2 spot. The Horns earned their fifth-straight Big 12 Championship and seventh-straight Big 12 Player of the Year honor with senior Amy Neal collecting the award. Texas entered its 12th-straight NCAA Tournament with a No. 3 seed and a 25-2 record and continued on to win five-straight matches to advance to its second NCAA Championship match in four years. The Longhorns played the first four matches in Gregory Gym, taking down Fairfield and Purdue in the first and second rounds and following with victories over UCLA and a five-set thriller over Florida to advance to their seventh NCAA Semifinal in the last eight years. Texas didn’t stop there, defeating Minnesota in the semifinal match before falling to Nebraska in the NCAA final match in Omaha, Neb. Five players earned All-America honors for the second-straight year, as senior Amy Neal and junior Chiaka Ogbogu were named to the First Team, junior Paulina Prieto Cerame the Second Team and junior Chloe Collins and senior Molly McCage the Third Team.

The 2014 squad entered the season ranked No. 2 and sustained a top-five ranking throughout the season. Texas earned its fourth-straight Big 12 Championship with a 15-1 record and rolled into the NCAA Tournament with a No. 2 seed and a 23-2 record, earning Elliott his fifth Big 12 Coach of the Year honor. Seniors Haley Eckerman and Khat Bell became the first duo to win a Big 12 Championship in every season of their Texas careers, but their success didn’t stop there. The Longhorns rolled past the first and second rounds in Austin and continued on past Colorado State in the regional semifinal and North Carolina in the regional final to find themselves in their sixth NCAA Semifinal in seven years. Texas fell to BYU in the semifinal match, but five players earned All-America honors, including Eckerman, Bell, juniors Molly McCage and Amy Neal and sophomore Chiaka Ogbogu.

In 2013, the Elliott-led Longhorns earned a preseason ranking of No. 1 for the first time in program history. While holding on to the nation’s top ranking for much of the year, Texas swept its conference opponents to complete the first perfect Big 12 Conference season in program history and entered the 2013 NCAA Championship on the heels of a 19-straight wins behind Volleyball Magazine Player of the Year Haley Eckerman. The Longhorns’ win streak of 10-straight NCAA Tournament matches culminated in a 3-1 loss to 12th-seeded Wisconsin in the national semifinal and ended the season ranked No. 3 nationally. Eckerman picked up AVCA All-America First Team honors for the second-consecutive year, while Bailey Webster and Chiaka Ogbogu earned second team selections and Hannah Allison, Khat Bell and Molly McCage were named honorable mention.

A magical run in 2012 culminated with the program’s third national championship after the Longhorns swept Oregon, 3-0, in the national title match. Texas finished with a 29-4 record while earning another Big 12 title with a 15-1 mark. The Longhorns finished the season by winning 23 of their final 24 matches. Bailey Webster, Haley Eckerman, Khat Bell and Sha’Dare McNeal earned AVCA All-America honors. Webster was named most outstanding player for the NCAA Tournament while Eckerman earned Big 12 Player of the Year honors. Elliott was named AVCA National Coach of the Year.

The 2011 squad finished fourth in the nation, going 25-5 and reaching the NCAA Regional final while posting a 15-1 mark to win the Big 12 Conference championship. With the help of AVCA National Freshman of the Year Haley Eckerman, along with first team All-Americans Rachael Adams and Bailey Webster, the Longhorns were able to post another successful season. Elliott was named Big 12 Coach of the Year, the fourth time in his career he received the honor as eight Longhorns earned conference honors. Webster was named Big 12 Player of the Year while Eckerman garnered conference Freshman of the Year recognition.

Elliott’s 2010 team overcame five season-ending injuries and lineup carousels to play its way to its third consecutive NCAA Semifinal appearance. En route to a 27-6 record, Elliott’s management skills earned him co-Big 12 Coach of the Year honors for the third time and his third AVCA Central Region Coach of the Year award. At season’s end the Horns were ranked fourth in both national polls and they finished second in the Big 12 standings. Elliott once again coached a pair of players to All-America status with Juliann Faucette and Rachael Adams each collecting AVCA and Volleyball Magazine All-America First Team honors.

In 2009, Elliott’s Longhorns garnered their greatest success during his tenure at UT, advancing to the NCAA Championship match for the first time since 1995. Texas played one of the sport’s all-time greatest championship matches as it fell to two-time defending champion Penn State in five sets. The Horns posted a 29-2 record on the season and claimed their third-straight Big 12 title and first outright championship since 1997. Texas concluded the season ranked No. 2 nationally in both polls, while Destinee Hooker and Ashley Engle garnered All-America First Team honors and Faucette landed on the third team. Hooker was named Volleyball Magazine Co-National Player of the Year and Big 12 Player of the Year in 2009 and all three players garnered All-Big 12 and AVCA All-Region lauds.

The 2008 squad returned the Longhorns to the forefront of the national volleyball scene, advancing to the NCAA Semifinals for the first time since 1995. The Longhorns posted a 29-4 record on the year and earned their second straight share of the Big 12 title, while concluding the season ranked No. 4 nationally. The trio of Engle, Hooker and Lauren Paolini garnered All-America First Team honors, marking the most first-team honorees in program history. Elliott coached four players to All-Big 12 accolades and helped setter Michelle Kocher garner UT’s third straight Big 12 Freshman of the Year honor.

In 2008, Elliott added another honor when he was chosen to coach the USA Volleyball A2 Team at the USA Adult Open Volleyball Championships in Atlanta, Ga.

Elliott’s 2007 squad earned UT’s second straight trip to the NCAA Regional finals and claimed its first Big 12 Championship since 1997, sharing the title with Nebraska. Texas’ 27-4 record in 2007 marked Elliott’s fourth straight season with at least 24 victories.

Elliott garnered AVCA All-Central Region and Big 12 Coach of the Year honors in 2007 after leading Texas to a No. 6 ranking. In 2007, he coached four players - Faucette, Hooker, Michelle Moriarty and Paolini - to All-America honors, while mentoring six players to All-Big 12 accolades.

In 2006, a mix of veteran and freshman talent helped lead the Longhorns to a 24-7 mark and UT’s first trip to the NCAA Regional finals since 1998.

The 2006 squad boasted three returning All-Americans - Leticia Armstrong, Brandy Magee and Moriarty going into the season, but the Horns played the majority of the season with only Moriarty in the lineup. After losing two All-Americans to injury, a pair of sensational freshmen, Engle and Hooker, stepped up to earn All-America honors of their own and lead the Horns to a No. 7 ranking in the final AVCA Top 25 Poll.

In 2004, the Longhorns posted a 26-5 record. The team concluded the regular season with a second-place Big 12 finish. In the postseason, the Longhorns played their way to the NCAA Regional semifinals before falling to eventual national champion Stanford. When the final polls came out, Texas earned a final ranking of No. 11, marking the program’s best finish since the 1998 campaign.

In 2003, beset by injuries and several off-court family emergencies that forced him to use 11 different lineups, Elliott guided the Horns to a 15-14 overall record and a 10-10 mark in Big 12 Conference matches. While many assumed Texas had written off its season with just three weeks left, Elliott led his team to a 4-1 mark down the stretch, including a season-ending 3-1 victory at home over No. 5 Kansas State. Topic and Howden earned honorable mention All-America honors after both garnering first-team AVCA All-Central Region and first-team All-Big 12 accolades.

Without a senior on the squad in 2002, Elliott led the Longhorns to their second NCAA appearance since his arrival and moved up to a fourth-place finish in the Big 12 Conference. He also developed his first All-American at Texas in Topic, when she was named an AVCA third-team All-American. In addition, Elliott guided 2000 All-Central Region honoree Kathy Hahn’s return to the court after a redshirt season in 2001.

In his first season in 2001, Elliott guided the Longhorns to three wins over Top 25 opponents, including a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over then-No. 11 BYU in the team’s second match of the season. He also was responsible for developing the nationally-recognized freshmen duo of Topic (Big 12 and AVCA Central Region Freshman of the Year) and Howden (Big 12 honorable mention), who both earned ASICS/Volleyball Magazine Freshman All-America honors.

Prior to his appointment as head coach at Texas in April of 2001, Elliott posted two remarkable seasons as the interim head coach at the University of Southern California. He compiled a record of 50-12 while leading the Women of Troy to their first NCAA Semifinals appearance in 15 years and first-ever share of the Pac-10 Conference title. In 2000, USC finished the season ranked No. 4 nationally by both the AVCA and Volleyball Magazine while going 29-3 en route to the NCAA Semifinals. Elliott was honored as Pac-10 Coach of the Year both seasons, as well as being named the 2000 Pacific Region Coach of the Year.

Under the leadership of Elliott, the Trojans featured two All-Americans in 2000 (April Ross and Jennifer Pahl) and six all-conference players, including the Pac-10 and Region Freshman of the Year (Ross). In both 2000 and 2001, Elliott’s recruiting class was regarded as No. 1 in the nation, the school’s first-ever No. 1 recruiting classes.

Prior to his two years as interim head coach, Elliott spent four years at USC as an assistant coach under head coach Lisa Love. As an assistant at USC, Elliott helped guide the Women of Troy to finish in the top 15 nationally all four years. He also was instrumental in developing two-time All-American middle blocker Jasmina Marinkovic (1995-98).

Elliott earned another honor when he was appointed head coach of the USA Junior National Team for the summer of 2001. But due to his appointment at Texas, Elliott had to relinquish the role with USA Volleyball. Elliott was an assistant coach on the 1998 U.S. Junior National Team, which won the NORCECA gold medal and qualified for the World Championships.

Additionally, he served as the director/head coach of the Westside Volleyball Club from 1992-95, where he led his 1994 squad to a fourth-place finish in the Nike Volleyball Festival. In 1992-93, Elliott assumed the role as head coach for the Forum Team Cup Volleyball.

He gained his first collegiate level coaching experience as an assistant with the Cal State Northridge men’s volleyball program in 1993. That season the Matadors advanced to the NCAA Championship match before losing to UCLA.

Among his high school head coaching experiences, Elliott spent three years (1992-1994) at Marymount High in Westwood, Calif., where he guided his girls’ squad to the league championship in 1993. He also spent one year (1991) at his alma mater, Palisades High, in Pacific Palisades, Calif., leading the girls’ team to a 16-3 record and the Los Angeles city title.

Elliott played collegiate volleyball at Pepperdine in 1986-88 and at Hawai’i during the 1989-90 season. The Pacific Palisades, Calif., native attended Palisades High, where he was high school teammates with 1996 U.S. Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Kent Steffes. Elliott was an All-L.A. City second-team selection as he helped Palisades to a 36-0 record in his final season.

Born April 28, 1968, Elliott earned his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Cal State Northridge in 1991. He has a daughter, Kahle (May 18, 1998), and two sons, Parker (July 26, 2005) and Mack (Oct. 20, 2006). Elliott and wife Andrea Nucete-Elliott were married on March 11, 2018.
