Jasmine Brown

Jasmine is the assistant coach at Denison University.

Jasmine Brown begins her first year at Denison as the assistant volleyball coach for the 2020-21 season. Brown comes to Denison after spending the 2019 season as the assistant volleyball coach at Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois.

"We are excited for Jasmine to be joining our Big Red family," said Denison head volleyball coach Carter Cassell. "Her values align with the values of our program and her passion for developing student-athletes was clearly evident in the interview process. Her technical and tactical knowledge of the game will be a great addition to our gym."

In her lone season with the Big Blue, Brown helped lead Millikin to an overall record of 22-13, including a 6-2 mark in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin and a spot in the CCIW Tournament Championship match. Brown coached four all-conference performers in 2019, including first-team selections in seniors Marissa McElroy and Rose Syversen and the CCIW Freshman of the Year, Jessi Kreder. McElroy and Syversen also earned spots on the 2019 CCIW All-Tournament team after leading Millikin to the conference title match.

Prior to her time at Millikin, Brown was a two-time all-conference selection in volleyball at NCAA Division II Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri. Finishing her four-year career with 825 kills, 529 digs, 158 blocks, and 45 service aces, Brown helped lead the Bulldogs to a pair of Great Lakes Valley Conference Championships in 2014 and 2016 while also earning Academic All-GLVC honors in 2016 and 2017.

As a coach, Brown also has experience at both the high school and club level. During the fall of 2018, Brown served as the junior varsity coach at Brookfield High School where she taught freshman, junior varsity, and varsity new techniques for passing, setting, hitting, blocking, and serving while improving the JV record by four wins from the season prior. She also spent three years as a Kirksville Area Volleyball Association (KAVA) club coach from 2015-18 where she focused on improving overall skills and applying new techniques during club matches.

A native of Houston, Texas, Brown earned her bachelor's degree in exercise science from Truman State University in 2019. She is currently in the midst of obtaining her master's degree in coaching from Greenville University in Greenville, Illinois.
