Harper Murray is a notable member of the Nebraska Volleyball program and has earned significant accolades in her athletic career. She also suffered from mental health challenges and saw a brief period of instability.

However, with the help of her family, team, and coaching staff, she came back strong and determined. During her appearance on the Wired Axcess podcast, Murray reflected on how to balance the social media pressure, she added,

"I think it's a balance of when does it get to a point of like I need to take time for myself because social media is toxic and everybody knows that whether they want to admit it or not. So, I think something that I try and at least work on is just like balancing how much I'm reading things like I don't look at my Instagram DMs." [15:28 onwards]

She continued,

"I don't look at all those things anymore, and I used to but that's something that I still have to balance because I'm still a teenager. I'm still going to be on social media just as much as anybody else but it is something to work on just like during season."

In 2023, the Nebraska Volleyball player was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year and to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team.
