When an evening like Friday comes, when Nebraska will honor Jordan Larson, one of the all-time great players for the volleyball program in a jersey retirement ceremony, it comes with some reflection.
Photos get looked at. The memory of Larson’s jump serve dropping to the floor comes back. Stories get told. Coach John Cook told a great one the other day that symbolizes what Larson has done for many years now: She went for it.
Larson went for it when she was middle school, when she wasn’t shy about telling people that she was going to play volleyball at Nebraska, and after that in the Olympics.
