Andi Jackson will share added responsibility next season after the departure of senior players Lexi Rodriguez and Merritt Beason from Nebraska. Head coach John Cook also retired and was replaced by his former assistant and student Dani Busboom-Kelly.

Jackson praised the legacy left by her former teammates and said she would try to uphold and carry that legacy forward next season.

“It was already a big shift losing five seniors and Lexi [Rodriguez], and Merritt [Beason] as our captains and they worked really really hard to build and uphold our culture and that's obviously something I've already touched on. It's something that we really really focus on here at Nebraska,"

"We knew we were going to have a bigger role on this team now and we weren't going to be sophomores anymore. We are upperclassmen and the freshmen are going to be looking to us to uphold that culture,” she said at a press conference

Rodriguez and Beason turned professional following the end of their collegiate careers last fall, while Cook is enjoying retirement and has joined the Cincinnati Bengals fan club.
