Jason Watson serves as Head Coach for University of Arkansas's Volleyball program in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Watson was named the third head coach of the University of Arkansas volleyball team on January 7, 2016, and has taken the program to historic heights ever since. He enters his 10th season with a 349-262 (.571) career record, 149-114 at Arkansas, and had led his teams to nine NCAA Tournament selections, the most recent in 2023.
After reaching the program’s first-ever Elite Eight in 2023, the 2024 season was one of rebuilding for Watson’s crew. The team finished with a 16-12 record, the fifth straight season with 15 wins. It was highlighted by two All-SEC selections and an AVCA All-Region honorable mention nod for libero Courtney Jackson. To reload for 2025, Watson has brought in notable transfers Gaby Cornier (Florida), Lakin Laurendine (Auburn), Livia NIU (USF) and Kiki Remensperger (Boise State).
