Former Texas A&M volleyball standout Jen Woods returned to her alma mater as associate head coach of the program in January 2023.
"Jen is one of the best block and defensive minds I have been around," head coach Jamie Morrison said. "As an alumnus of this program and school, Jen will be able to intertwine the history and traditions of this school into our team. Jen will be a role model as well as an aide in having the conversations needed for that growth. It is an absolute pleasure to welcome Jen, Mitch, Colton, Cason and Cooper back to Aggieland."
Woods returns to A&M to join Morrison’s staff and brings a range of coaching experience to Aggieland. The former team captain most recently coached alongside Morrison at League One Volleyball, helping manage and mentor volleyball clubs across the United States.
Prior to her time with League One Volleyball, Woods founded Houston Skyline Volleyball. As a director, she was instrumental during her 11-year tenure, developing the organization into a perennial top-10 club in the nation. Her impact helped nearly 200 athletes reach their goals of playing collegiate volleyball. As a head coach, Woods qualified teams in the highest division (Open) for eight straight seasons, finishing 3rd, 1st and 5th at the National Championships in Open her last three seasons.
"I want to thank Director of Athletics Ross Bjork, Deputy Athletics Director Kristen Brown and head coach Jamie Morrison for this opportunity to join the Texas A&M volleyball program," Woods said. "As an alumnus of this program, I am thrilled to be coming home to Aggieland. The combination of getting to come back to be a part of this program and working with Jamie, has made this an incredibly special opportunity. Jamie's coaching ability and experience is second-to-none, but beyond his top-notch ability to coach, he also cares deeply for his athletes. He will pour into them personally as much as he will develop them as volleyball players. That is the type of culture that I am proud to help build alongside him.”
"My hope is to be a part of creating a culture that fosters a connection of the current players to the many people that have built the history of the program, while simultaneously focusing on an exciting new era of Aggie Volleyball."
Woods (nee Moore) was a four-year letter winner for the Aggies from 2004-07. She joined the Aggies as a freshman walk-on in 2004 and through hard work and fortitude went on to earn an athletic scholarship.
Woods was a starting defensive specialist as a sophomore and received team honors for both best defensive player and most inspirational player after splitting time as defensive specialist and libero as a junior. As a senior, the team captain and libero was the only Aggie to play in all 107 games--all while battling through a back injury. She finished her Aggie career with 659 digs in 90 matches.
A success in the classroom as well, Woods was a three-time first team Academic All-Big 12 selection and was awarded the Texas A&M Athletic Department’s Scholar Athlete of the Year honor in 2008. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communication in May 2008 and a master’s degree in sport management in May 2009. Post graduation, Woods was an instructional professor at A&M, teaching sport finance and sport marketing undergraduate courses.
She and her husband, Mitch, have three children--Colton, Cason and Cooper.
