Andi Jackson opened up about her mindset regarding volleyball as a sport and the Nebraska program before joining the Cornhuskers program. She has been there in the program for two years now and is completing a degree in Business Administration.

In an interview from December 2024, Jackson shared that she never wanted to play volleyball and wanted to try her hand at basketball during her youth days. Additionally, she also mentioned that she had no idea about the legacy that the Nebraska volleyball program and its then head coach, John Cook, have in the circuit. She said (via Husker Extra):

"It was my ultimate goal to play basketball at UNC. Never wanted to try volleyball. It just didn’t appeal to me. I was just like, ‘What? Girly. Who wants to play volleyball?’”

She further added:

"I didn’t really understand the significance of Nebraska volleyball, and if I’m gonna be honest, and I didn’t realize how big of a deal John Cook was"

During the interview, Andi Jackson also shared that she was immensely happy for her mother when she heard the news that the Nebraska volleyball program was recruiting her.
