LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Andi Jackson, Harper Murray and Bergen Reilly on Wednesday were named to the AVCA Player of the Year watch list.

Those Huskers are among 30 players on the list so far.

Ten more players will be announced Thursday.

As of Wednesday, Nebraska is the only school to have three players selected to the list.

The preseason watch list was made by the AVCA Division I Women’s Volleyball Awards Committee.

The three juniors all racked up impressive stats a season ago.

Jackson averaged 2.62 kills per set with a .439 hitting percentage, which put her at sixth in the nation and fourth in school history.

Murray was an AVCA Second Team All-American last year. She led the Huskers with 3.4 kills per set and a team-high 39 aces.

Reilly is the first player in Big Ten history to win Big Ten Setter of the Year as both a freshman and sophomore.

She averaged 11.08 assists per set last year while helping the Huskers to a .284 hitting percentage.

Nebraska will kick off the season with its fan day and Red-White scrimmage on Aug. 9.
