Now in its 75th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. Over those 75 years the League has inspired student-athletes to realize their academic aspirations, maximize their athletics potential, and cultivate their leadership skills to prepare them for life beyond their collegiate experience.
As part of a partnership with
Digital Scoreboards, each week through the the academic year, we will honor an OVC student-athlete who has excelled in the classroom, in addition to earning accolades on the playing surface.
This week's honoree is Tennessee State junior outside hitter
Rayna Williams. Last season she was named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll for her work in the classroom. Last year (2021) she played in 56 sets and averaged 1.11 kills per set. This season she averaged 0.44 kills and 0.56 digs per set as Tennessee State won its OVC Tournament Championship since 2007!
