Now in its 77th 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 previous 76 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
Jostens, each week through 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 UT Martin senior libero/defensive specialist
Dylan Mott. Last year she earned the OVC Academic Medal of Honor for her work in the classroom. On the court in 2023 she averaged 3.01 digs per set while adding 22 aces. This season she played in all 12 sets the opening weekend, averaging 4.17 digs/set with two service aces.
