Jace Henderson enters her first season at Utah in 2025-26. She joins the Utes after spending the previous three seasons at Nebraska. She joined the Nebraska women's basketball program as a graduate assistant manager in August 2022 and was elevated to a full-time role where she spent two seasons as the director of player personnel, development and influence.
Henderson helped the Huskers to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances including a first-round NCAA Tournament victory over Texas A&M after claiming a No. 6 seed in 2024. The victory followed Nebraska's run to its first Big Ten Championship Game appearance since 2014.
She helped Nebraska to back-to-back 20-win seasons as the Huskers finished 21-12 last season and posted a 23-12 overall record in 2023-24. In 2023-24, Nebraska's regular season was highlighted by an 82-79 win over then-No. 2 Iowa in front of a sellout crowd of more than 15,000 at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The victory over the Hawkeyes matched the highest-ranked team the Huskers have ever defeated.
Prior to her time at Nebraska, Henderson served as an assistant coach at Montana in 2020-21, after spending 2019-20 as a graduate assistant with the Lady Griz.
She was a standout student-athlete at Montana spending four years as a women's basketball player after competing in 15 matches as a setter for the volleyball team as a true freshman in 2014-15.
As a basketball senior in 2018-19, Henderson earned second-team All-Big Sky honors by averaging 12.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists. She hit a Big Sky-best 56.1 percent of her field goal attempts as a senior.
Henderson was a two-time team MVP and a three-time Most Inspirational Player. Overall, she played 111 games with 56 starts, totaling 722 points, 583 rebounds and 185 assists.
Henderson joined the Lady Griz in Missoula after an outstanding career as a multi-sport athlete at Billings Senior High School. She was the 2012 and 2013 Gatorade Montana Volleyball Player of the Year - the first two-time winner in state history. She led Billings to back-to-back state titles as a junior and senior. She also finished in the top four in throws three times at the Class AA state track and field meet. Her father, Brian, was the women's basketball coach at Rocky Mountain College in Billings for 13 seasons.
She earned her bachelor's degree in organizational communication from Montana in 2019, before claiming her master's degree in public administration in 2022.
