Stanford Adds Northern Kentucky Assistant Jordan Little to Coaching Staff for Upcoming Season
Stanford announced the hiring of Jordan Little, who spent last season as an assistant coach with Northern Kentucky, a program that saw significant success in its inaugural campaign. As part of Stanford’s men’s volleyball team, Little will bring valuable experience and expertise to the Cardinal coaching staff.
According to reporting by Off the Block - NCAA Volleyball, Jordan Little played a crucial role in guiding Northern Kentucky's Norse to their first-ever MIVA Tournament appearance. The team also managed to compete with top-tier institutions like Ball State until forcing them into overtime during their conference tournament quarterfinals match. Under his leadership at Webber International and as a club coach in Florida, Little accumulated an impressive 33-7 win-loss record over two seasons, which saw the team reach the conference tournament finals twice.
Why Jordan Little’s Hire is Significant for Stanford
The move to bring Little on board represents a strategic addition for Stanford. The 2026 season ended with Stanford finishing fourth in the MPSF and advancing to the MPSF Tournament quarterfinals. Among those likely to return are key players like Jacob Little-Phillips, an all-freshman setter who could benefit from Little’s coaching expertise.
Background of Jordan Little
Built a strong reputation as a coach. Before Northern Kentucky, Little served as head coach at Webber International university and a club coach in Florida, where he built the teams’ capabilities and success.
