Head Coach Breanne Hall announced the addition of former LPGA Tour professional Allyssa Ferrell to the Nebraska women’s golf coaching staff for the 2025-26 season on Thursday, July 3.
Ferrell, who golfed collegiately at Michigan State before enjoying a successful professional career on the Epson, Symetra and LPGA Tours, brings a wealth of experience to the Husker program.
“Her vision, teaching expertise and genuine passion for the game align perfectly with our goals,” Hall said. “I’m confident she’ll play a key role in elevating the Nebraska women’s golf program.”
Ferrell, who was a two-time second-team All-Big Ten golfer at Michigan State (2013, 2014) was a member of the 2014 Big Ten All-Championship Team after sinking a nine-foot putt on the final hole to give the Spartans their third title in four years. She was later named the 2014 Michigan State Female Athlete of the Year. She helped MSU to four straight NCAA Regional appearances and three trips to the NCAA Championship. As a senior in 2014, she tied for 10th individually at the NCAA Championship with a then-school-record four-round score of 283 (+3). An elementary education major at Michigan State, Ferrell was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection as a Spartan.
She made the move to the Epson Tour in 2015 and earned a season-best tie for 13th at the Tullymore Classic. In 2016, she played in 20 events and made 14 cuts, before earning a spot on the LPGA Tour.

She closed her pro career on the Symetra Tour in 2019, when she won the Symetra Tour Legacy Award, which is presented to an individual who demonstrates passion for the community and giving back.
“I am beyond excited to start my coaching career under the leadership of Coach Hall at the University of Nebraska,” Ferrell said. “I am honored for the belief and trust that Coach Hall has in me and the opportunity to coach at a University that has strong community support for their student-athletes. I would like to thank my former college head coach, Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll, and assistant coach, Lorne Don, for the amazing examples of the impact coaches can have on student-athletes.
