In 2021, she was named an Ontario Scholar.

The daughter of Dean Comeau and Amy Andrews, Jessica has one sister, Cassidy. She plans to major in Business with the career ambition of being an entrepreneur.

"I chose BGSU because of the sense of community within the volleyball program and institution. I believe my coaches, teammates, and peers will challenge me to grow as a person, athlete, and student. BGSU is an environment in which I can picture myself studying and competing." – Jessica Andrews

Coach Tomic's Take
"We are thrilled to add Jessica, another great teammate, to our 2022 recruiting class. She will not only add depth but also size, skill and a winning mentality to our middle blocker position. Jessica's strong work ethic, drive to be the best she can be, humility, and strength of character match her talent and potential and make her an excellent fit for our program. With those intangibles, the sky is the limit to what she can accomplish on the volleyball court and in life. We cannot wait to help her grow as a player and person and watch her thrive as a Falcon and beyond."
