Lindsey Walton was named associate head coach of the Texas A&M volleyball program in January 2023.

"Lindsey is one of the best recruiters the SEC has ever seen," head coach Jamie Morrison said. "She helped build Kentucky from scratch, piece-by-piece, into what it is today. She is a connector that draws human beings together and encourages them to be themselves. On the court, she has developed some of the best liberos in the country and will continue to do so at Texas A&M. I couldn't be more excited to welcome Lindsey, Kyle, Berkley and Scottie into the Aggie family."

Walton brings an abundance of NCAA coaching experience to the Aggie coaching staff. Most recently, she held the head coaching position at Oklahoma for five seasons, guiding the Sooners to the NCAA Tournament in 2019, their first appearance since 2014. She mentored 12 All-Big 12 players during her tenure in Norman.

"First off, I would like to thank Ross Bjork, Kristen Brown, Jamie Morrison and the 12th Man for welcoming us to College Station," Walton said. "After being here and experiencing the A&M culture, there is undoubtable ability to attract the most elite volleyball players in the country to A&M. I look forward to starting this journey with the 12th Man as we start our quest to be one of the elite volleyball programs in the SEC and the country.

"It's the opportunity of a lifetime to work alongside Jamie Morrison in the championship endeavor we take on. The dedication of this staff matches that of A&M's dedication to their women's sports programs. It's a transformational time for the national landscape of our sport and even more exciting time to be a Texas A&M volleyball fan."

No stranger to the Southeastern Conference, Walton spent eight seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting director for Craig Skinner’s staff at Kentucky prior to taking the head coaching job at OU. She worked closely with the back row passers and outside hitters, while helping lead the development of three-time SEC Libero of the Year Ashley Dusek. Walton served in the same role at the College of Charleston in 2009, helping the Cougars to the Southern Conference title and a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Walton is a 2008 graduate of Georgia Tech, where she earned All-ACC honors as a player. The Yellow Jackets won 20 or more matches three times in her career and posted a 27-7 overall mark on a perfect 16-0 season in ACC play her freshman year.

Raised in Olathe, Kansas, Walton earned her Bachelor of Science degree in management at Georgia Tech with certificates in marketing and management. In May 2012, she married Kyle Walton. The couple have two daughters, Berkley and Scottie.
