The Ridge Point High School graduate had previously shared in an interview with Hail Varsity that she didn’t have a dream school growing up, explaining that she kept her options open because she felt many programs overlooked her, often describing herself as underrated.
Robinson’s addition is expected to bolster Nebraska Volleyball after the program saw four seniors, Rebekah Allick, Taylor Landfair, Maisie Boesiger, and Allie Sczech, depart this year. All of the athletes have announced their next steps, with Allick joining LOVB Madison, while Landfair and Sczech have signed with the Pro Volleyball Federation’s Indy Ignite and Omaha Supernovas, respectively.
Meanwhile, Boesiger is set to work in social media for Omaha while also collaborating with her close friend and former teammate, Lexi Rodriguez, on the SheSports app, which connects female collegiate athletes with young fans.
Jayden Robinson’s Father Details Why Nebraska Fits Her Competitive Mindset
With Robinson preparing to arrive at Nebraska, her family believes the program offers the ideal environment for the next step in her volleyball journey. For Robinson, Nebraska represents a place where daily competition is embraced, something her father says she has always thrived on.
In an interview with VBAdrenaline.com, Jason said, “You don’t go to a place like Nebraska if you aren’t willing to be challenged with healthy competition daily. For us, this is what she thrives in and what will be needed to continue her progression. We truly believe that iron sharpens iron.”
Robinson’s father shared his excitement about seeing his daughter compete inside the Devaney Center, adding, “I get chills thinking of her putting up a HUGE block in the Bob and the reaction of the crowd.”
Jayden’s father went on to praise head coach Dani Busboom Kelly and her staff for their ability to develop athletes and build a system that brings out the best in each player, adding that he believes Jayden will fit well in Nebraska’s competitive structure as a player.
