Nebraska volleyball sure knows how to steal the spotlight, and players like Taylor Landfair are right at the heart of it. But before diving into that, the Huskers recently extended their winning streak to a dazzling 19 matches, defeating Northwestern with yet another clean sweep—25-18, 25-15, 25-15—in front of an electrified, sold-out crowd. Taylor Landfair was nothing short of unstoppable, delivering six key kills that helped push Nebraska to an early lead.

With three kills on Taylor Landfair’s first six swings, she set the tone, helping widen the gap to 13-6 and bringing her solo blocks and kills right when they were needed. But while Taylor Landfair’s skills on the court speak for themselves, she’s now making waves for something completely unexpected—and it’s happening far from the volleyball court! This time, her impact is unfolding in an entirely new arena, adding yet another exciting layer to her story.

On November 4, Kevin Sjuts, the Sports Director at 1011 News, shared a heartwarming moment on X featuring Nebraska volleyball’s star, Taylor Landfair. In the clip, Taylor is spotted not just hanging out with kids at a Nebraska basketball game but truly making their day—signing autographs, posing for pictures, and flashing a warm smile to every young fan who approached her.

Sjuts couldn’t help but capture the moment, writing, “Nebraska volleyball player Taylor Landfair has been signing autographs & taking pictures during the entire second half of the women’s basketball game. Smiling for every kid that comes up to her!”

In an electrifying season opener at Pinnacle Bank Arena, the Nebraska women’s basketball team, ranked No. 23, cruised to an impressive 88-48 victory over Omaha. Leading the charge was Alexis Markowski, who not only powered her squad with her standout play but also made history—securing her 41st career double-double, a new school record. Markowski’s stellar performance was part of a dynamic offensive display, with six Huskers hitting double digits in scoring, setting a triumphant tone for the season ahead.

The love for Taylor Landfair keeps pouring in, with fans flooding social media after her recent heartwarming moment. One fan put it perfectly: “A real role model. Inspiring young women and girls instead of trying to take their rights away.” And did you know? Landfair joined the Huskers this May, coming over as a graduate transfer from Minnesota. In her first team meeting, each player shared their “why”—why they play volleyball, and why they chose Nebraska. When it was Taylor’s turn, her answer struck a chord.

She shared, “My why is definitely happiness,” adding, “and gratefulness, just because I’m part of a team where I feel like I can thrive in this high-level environment.” For Taylor Landfair, understanding each teammate’s “why” is essential, as it helps build a supportive bond within the team, ensuring everyone’s needs are met. And as for her teammates? They’re all in. Head coach John Cook couldn’t help but highlight the camaraderie, saying, “The girls love her, and she’s trying to help this team be great.” But this was just the beginning!

Volleyheads send love to Taylor Landfair!

That’s right! Fans have been pouring in praise for the Huskers and Taylor Landfair, with one fan passionately sharing, “I wish everyone could see this Husker volleyball team. They’re the best example of an actual team in all of sports.” Curious about what makes them the ultimate team? Well, Nebraska’s been on a 19-game winning streak, a feat so impressive even head coach John Cook couldn’t resist celebrating. “People love this team. They love watching them. They love their passion and fire.” The Huskers, currently ranked No. 2, are unstoppable, with a legacy that includes five national titles plus three trips to the finals since their last championship win in 2017. They’ve held the No. 1 spot more than any other program, setting the bar in volleyball like no other.

One fan summed it up perfectly, saying, “These women rep their program, university, and state with class. Makes you proud to be a Husker VB fan.” And Taylor Landfair? She’s not just representing Nebraska—she’s making her mark here! How, you ask? Just look at her stats this season. She smashed a season-high nine kills against powerhouse Wisconsin and racked up an impressive 15 points against UCLA back in September. Her performances have indeed been nothing short of electrifying!

If Nebraska can lock into that high gear every game, they might just become the toughest team to beat in the sport. And with at least four of their stars potentially eyeing future U.S. Olympic rosters, it’s almost mind-blowing to see such a powerhouse lineup at the college level. Just think—llast summer’s U.S. silver medal Olympic team featured 17 players and alternates from 11 schools, with three of them being Nebraska alums. As one fan cheered, “YES!!!!!! Nebraska is a women’s sports school 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿,” perfectly capturing the pride and excitement surrounding this unstoppable team and Taylor Landfair!

Another fan joined the chorus, saying,

“Husker athletes are class all the way. We have the kindest people playing at Nebraska.” And honestly, who can argue with that? Just recently, they showcased their values in a new ad campaign with Protect Women and Children, a pro-life initiative, which highlighted Nebraska volleyball’s own Rebekah Allick.
