Current Title: Volleyball Assistant Coach (2026)
Arkansas volleyball will bolster its bench with two familiar faces this season as Hannah Hogue and Courtney Jackson have been brought on to Jason Watson’s staff.
“Hannah and Courtney are two wonderfully talented athletes who helped our program reach new heights, now in a position to teach and guide our current athletes to equal success,” head coach Jason Watson said. “I’m thrilled that their experiences here at Arkansas have inspired them to remain and continue to give to our team. Looking forward to working with them as we begin a new season in the fall.”
Hannah Hogue steps into the role of assistant coach after a prolific four seasons at Arkansas 2021-2024. She became the team’s primary setter in 2023, with a career total of 3,056 assists, the sixth-most in program history. The Fort Smith native had a breakout season her junior year, helping lead Arkansas to its first-ever Elite Eight. She was named an All-America Honorable Mention, AVCA All-South region and All-SEC in 2023, and finished the season with 11.13 assists per set, third in the SEC and sixth nationally.
In addition to consistently and accurately pacing the Hogs’ offense, Hogue was a key piece of the team’s defensive efforts with a total 1,031 digs in her career. In her final season, she notched 19 double-doubles in 28 matches, including three 20-20s and two seven-match double-double streaks. Hogue tallied 44 total double-doubles over her four seasons, seventh-most ever.
Hannah was also critical to Arkansas’ success at the service line with back-to-back 30+ ace seasons as a junior and senior. Her 51 aces in 2023 were the third-most in a single season in program history and her 108 career check in at ninth.
Hogue and Jackson join a strong list of Watson’s former players that have also been on his coaching staffs, including Arkansas All-American Jill Gillen and Arizona State All-American and Air Force Academy head coach Macey Donathan.
