KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Boasting more than 20 years of collegiate coaching experience, Tennessee volleyball has added Susan Clements as an assistant coach ahead of the 2025 campaign, head coach Eve Rackham Watt announced Monday.
“We are thrilled to welcome Susan to Rocky Top and feel extremely fortunate to have someone of her experience level join our staff,” Rackham Watt said. “She has been a part of multiple championship teams, both as a head coach and assistant coach. I have known Susan for over 20 years, and I am excited for what she can bring to our program. I believe our players will learn a lot from her, and she understands what it takes to win at this level. All of us are looking forward to having Susan join us this spring.”
During her time in coaching, Clements and her teams have won a combined nine conference titles. She’s made stops at Coastal Carolina (2023-24), North Carolina (2018-22), Wright State (2012-17), Niagara (2007-11) and Georgetown College (2004-06), with the latter three being head coaching positions. She’s been to the NCAA Tournament with three different programs and has coached numerous All-conference players throughout her career.
“I would like to thank head coach Eve Rackham Watt for this wonderful opportunity to be a part of a terrific staff and program,” Clements said. “I am grateful to be a part of Rocky Top and the Lady Vol volleyball team. This is an exciting time in volleyball and in the SEC, and I look forward to an amazing season ahead.”

She was promoted to associate head coach ahead of the 2024 campaign after the 2023 Chanticleers earned their first postseason appearance since 2017, posting a 22-10 overall record and claiming the Sun Belt Conference regular season and tournament titles.
Clements helped with the coaching and development of setter Jalyn Stout, who has broken the NCAA record for triple-doubles twice during her first two collegiate seasons. After tallying 14 in 2023 to set the record as a freshman, the two-time All-SBC First Team selection followed that up with 20 triple-doubles this past season to improve her record.
Before moving to Conway, Clements served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for North Carolina for five seasons. During her time in Chapel Hill, she recruited the three top-15 classes, including the ninth and 10th nationally-ranked recruiting classes in 2019 and…
