Yesterday, Bearcats senior volleyball player and Cincinnati native Hannah Bolinger announced she will be joining Barstool Athletics as part of the new NIL bill that is allowing athletes to endorse their name, image, and likeness. The Cincinnati native is the first Bearcats volleyball player to announce a partnership since the NIL bill went into effect earlier yesterday. Bolinger, who is a senior at the University of Cincinnati is looking forward to a big senior season this upcoming fall for the Bearcats where she will join a senior class that includes Maria Mallon, Armania Heckenmueller, and Adria Oliver. During the shortened 2021 spring season Bolinger recorded 12 kills and six blocks in 13 matches for the Bearcats. Bolinger recorded a career high 6 kills versus UCF, and also tied her career best with four blocks in that match back on March 4th 2021.
Congratulations to Hannah Bolinger for becoming the first Bearcats volleyball player to sign a deal under the new NIL bill.
