Oklahoma head soccer coach Matt Mott announced the addition of Jessica Hiskey as assistant coach May 2023, with Hiskey entering her third season on staff ahead of the 2025 campaign.

The Sooners' backline aided in four shutouts, including a 1-0 victory at Florida in the season finale, good for one shy of the program's highest mark in nearly a decade. Oklahoma held opponents to two or fewer goals in 17 of 18 games as the Sooners broke double-digit wins for the first time since 2016.

OU’s back line limited opponents to a program-record 10.35 shots against per match on its way to recording five clean sheets in Hiskey's first season directing the unit. Oklahoma's five shutouts marked the program’s most since 2016. The Sooners also dramatically reduced their cards received, taking just 14 yellows and zero reds after receiving 38 and two respectively the season prior.

Hiskey, who was an All-SEC defender for the Rebels under Mott, served the last five years as an Ole Miss assistant coach, the last two as assistant head coach. Presiding over the Rebels' defense, Hiskey helped the program register 31 shutouts over her five seasons. Ole Miss' back line also contributed on the attack, tallying 12 goals and 33 assists during the same time frame.

The Rebels surrendered only 19 goals in 20 contests in 2022 and posted 10 shutouts. They didn't allow a goal until the sixth match of the year.

From 2012-15, Hiskey starred in Oxford as a defender and midfielder under Mott, starting 74 matches and logging over 7,000 minutes as Ole Miss posted a 51-26 record and a 3-2 NCAA Tournament mark. She registered 10 goals and five assists.

The Franklin, Tenn., product turned in her most productive offensive season as a junior in 2014, amassing six goals and a pair of assists. She played 1,809 of the team's 1,840 minutes that year. As a senior, she started all 23 games and was a second-team All-SEC selection as the Rebels advanced to the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 for the first time in school history.

During her senior campaign, Hiskey helped lead Ole Miss to its first-ever NCAA Sweet-16, starting all 23 contests on the year. She became the first Rebel defender to be named All-SEC since 2011, collecting Second Team honors after registering five points on two goals and one assist.

After her collegiate career, Hiskey became just the fourth known Rebel to sign a professional contract, playing for Skövde KIK in Sweden. During her two-year stay, she helped Skövde KIK achieve its highest league finish in club history (third place), as well as its lowest single-season goals-against average.

Hiskey earned CoSIDA Academic All-America and CoSIDA Academic All-District honors her senior year, and attained a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Ole Miss in 2016.
