Watch: Inside the Aggies’ 2025 title match win with Coach Donny

The journey of the 2025 Texas A&M national championship volleyball team was one of the most compelling stories in college athletics. You hear all the time about how belief and hard work can take you where you want to go. That was a message head coach Jamie Morrison reinforced constantly. But he was also brutally honest with his team, reminding them that sometimes you can do everything right and still come up short.

That mindset freed the Aggies to play loose, confident, and authentic. But belief alone doesn’t win national titles. Strategy does. And from the moment Morrison arrived in College Station, the question followed him: How would his international experience translate to the college game?

The first test was recruiting. Could he build a roster that matched his vision? The answer came quickly. Morrison’s ability to connect with people—and to sell a culture built on growth—allowed him to bring in key additions who elevated the program immediately.

Then came his system. After years coaching on the international stage, Morrison was already accustomed to developing teams capable of playing at the highest level. That experience paid off. Every player on the roster improved as the season progressed, and his fast, aggressive style kept opponents off balance throughout the NCAA Tournament. For seniors like Logan Lednicky and Ifenna Cos-Okpalla, it meant rewriting the record books and earning professional contracts.

The Aggies’ run also brought in a wave of new volleyball fans. It’s an incredibly engaging sport—constant action, no long pauses, no lulls. But for newcomers, the nuances can be tough to follow in real time.

Fortunately, Coach Donny of Elevate Yourself stepped in with a fantastic breakdown of several key points from the national title match, making the sport more accessible for anyone still learning the game.
