MEMPHIS, Tenn. — University of Memphis head volleyball coach Cheri Lindsay announced the addition of Brooke Hudson as an assistant coach ahead of the 2026 season.
"Brooke possesses an outstanding understanding of the game and a coaching style that is both innovative and impactful," Lindsay said. "Her unique skill set adds tremendous value to our staff and enhances every aspect of our program."
Hudson comes to Memphis after spending the 2025 season at Florida A&M University, where the Rattlers won the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship following a 9-7 mark in conference play.
"I'm honored to join the University of Memphis and excited for the opportunity to work under Coach Lindsay," Hudson said. "She has built an outstanding foundation, and I look forward to contributing to the program's continued success. I'm especially excited to be working together again and can't wait to get started."
Before entering coaching, Hudson played five seasons of collegiate volleyball as a defensive specialist, spending her first three years at Colorado State (2019–21). During her time in Fort Collins, Hudson appeared in 64 matches with 18 starts, contributing 54 assists and 348 digs.
She transferred to Florida A&M in 2022, where she was named the SWAC Libero of the Year after setting a single-season school record with 553 digs to lead the conference. Hudson also helped guide the Rattlers to co-regular season and tournament championships in her first season in Tallahassee.
In her final collegiate season, Hudson rewrote the record book once again, breaking her own single-season mark with 644 digs while earning her second consecutive SWAC Libero of the Year honor.
A native of Houston, Texas, Hudson earned a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in political science in 2023 and completed her Master of Public Administration in the fall of 2024.
