Texas Volleyball Coach
Head Coach, coaching staff and support team. A clear look at the people leading the Texas Longhorns volleyball program, with official appointments and documented career milestones.
Who is on the 2026 staff?
The official directory lists four coaches and four support staff members. Jerritt Elliott is the head coach; David Hunt and Ben Josephson are associate head coaches, and Reily Canter is an assistant coach. The support group is listed separately so that an operations or performance appointment is not mistaken for a coaching position.
Each profile links to the person's Texas Athletics biography. Career milestones below refer to specific completed seasons; a current staff appointment does not mean the person was present for every championship in program history.
