What can Alexis Markowski and Britt Prince do in their one season at Nebraska together?
New details show NIL helped land Nebraska volleyball transfer
Alexis Markowski announced her transfer to Nebraska from Kentucky over three months ago. Now, the details of how she ended up in Lincoln are coming out.
Markowski had a top-five NIL valuation coming out of the transfer portal, and she used that leverage to land a lucrative deal with Nebraska. The deal is reportedly worth over $1 million, and it includes a number of perks, such as a free apartment, a car, and access to a personal chef.
NIL has changed the landscape of college athletics
The emergence of NIL has changed the landscape of college athletics. Athletes now have the ability to profit off their name, image, and likeness, and they are using that power to secure lucrative deals with businesses.
NIL has also given athletes more power in the transfer portal. Athletes can now use NIL deals as a way to leverage a better deal from their new school. In Markowski's case, she was able to use her NIL valuation to land a deal that is worth over $1 million.
Markowski and Prince could be a dynamic duo
Markowski is a 6-foot-3 middle blocker who was a key part of Kentucky's national championship team in 2021. She is one of the best blockers in the country, and she also has a strong offensive game.
Prince is a 6-foot-2 outside hitter who was a first-team All-American at Washington in 2021. She is a dynamic hitter who can score from anywhere on the court.
Together, Markowski and Prince could form one of the most dynamic duos in college volleyball. They both have the ability to dominate at the net, and they can also score from the back row.
Nebraska has a chance to win a national championship
With Markowski and Prince now on the roster, Nebraska has a legitimate chance to win a national championship in 2023. The Huskers have a strong team all around, and they have the experience and talent to make a run at the title.
If Markowski and Prince can live up to their potential, they could be the key to Nebraska's success in 2023.
