Taylor Edwards is in her first season as an assistant coach and the assistant director of scouting and operations at Nebraska in 2025-26.
Edwards is in her third season overall in Lincoln after spending the past two years as a graduate assistant manager for the Huskers.
During her first two years with the Huskers, Edwards helped the Big Red to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in 2024 and 2025.
Edwards was part of a 2023-24 Nebraska team that secured a first-round NCAA Tournament victory over Texas A&M and made a four-game run to the Big Ten Championship Game - both firsts for the program since 2014.
Nebraska finished with a 23-12 overall record that included 17 wins over postseason tournament qualifiers (8 NCAA, 3 WBIT, 6 WNIT). The Huskers also notched a regular-season win over No. 2 Iowa - matching the highest ranked opponent the Huskers had ever defeated. The victory came in front of the first sellout crowd for a women's basketball game in the history at Pinnacle Bank Arena with well over 15,000 on hand to watch Nebraska complete a 14-point fourth-quarter comeback for an 82-79 win over the eventual NCAA runner-up Hawkeyes.
Nebraska's 2023-24 roster featured first-team All-Big Ten center Alexis Markowski and second-team All-Big Ten guard Jaz Shelley, who went on to be the No. 29 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The Huskers also showcased 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Natalie Potts at forward and Big Ten All-Freshman selection Logan Nissley at guard.
Edwards helped the Huskers to a second straight NCAA bid in 2024-25, as Nebraska finished with a 21-12 overall record that included a 10-8 Big Ten mark. The Huskers also won two more games in the Big Ten Tournament to secure their NCAA berth.
Markowski captured first-team All-Big Ten honors for the second straight season, while becoming Nebraska's career leader with 53 double-doubles. Markowski also finished No. 2 all-time at Nebraska with 1,220 rebounds while finishing No. 7 in career points (1,902).
The Huskers returned to the NCAA Tournament despite the loss of Shelley to graduation and professional basketball, while Potts was injured in the fifth game of the 2024-25 campaign. Nissley also battled injuries in 2024-25, as did former starting guard Allison Weidner.
However, Nebraska's toughness, togetherness and determination showed throughout the season. Fueled by the emergence of Big Ten All-Freshman pick Britt Prince, who averaged 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.7 steals at point guard, Nebraska knocked off No. 17 Maryland on the road and No. 20 Michigan State during the season. The Huskers also got a crucial overtime win at Iowa and late-season wins over NCAA Tournament-bound Oregon and Illinois to book their tickets to the Big Dance.
Prince, who added honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades, went on to be named Nebraska's Female Freshman Athlete of the Year across all sports.
A four-year contributor at Montana State-Billings from 2015-16 through 2018-19, Edwards spent one season as an assistant at MSU-Billings in 2019-20, before spending three seasons at Carroll College as an assistant coach.

In 2022-23, Carroll College finished with a 27-6 record as one of the top NAIA teams in the nation. It followed a 27-8 campaign for the Fighting Saints in 2021-22. The Helena, Mont., school also advanced to the 2021 NAIA Tournament with a 21-3 record in 2020-21.
Edwards earned her bachelor's degree as a health and human performance major at MSU-Billings in 2019. A graduate of Charles M. Russell High School in Great Falls, Mont., Edwards was a three-time Academic All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference selection at Montana State-Billings. The 5-9 guard played in 92 games during her college career, despite missing much of her sophomore season with an injury. She started her first 11 games as a sophomore before the injury and made nine starts as a senior.
As a junior in 2017-18, Edwards helped MSUB to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight after helping the Yellowjackets capture the West Regional championship. She also helped Montana State-Billings to the 2018 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Tournament title.
