Bailey Ortega | WUW 438

Bailey is from Davenport, IA and attended Davenport North High School. Joined the Iowa Volleyball program as a fellow WALKON in the spring of 2020 after graduating High School early. We discuss the weird ins and outs of joining the team right in the beginning of a pandemic. After a couple years in Iowa City she entered the portal amongst some uncertainty in the program but when 2nd year Coach Rick Barnes was hired he put Bailey on scholarship to lock her down for the Hawkeyes. We discuss the brutality of the Big Ten Volleyball schedule, managing that as a student athlete, her thoughts on this years upcoming team, as well as her personal endeavors which have taken her all over the country to participate in NIL summits, Sports Rec Major opportunities, and soon Big Ten Media Days.
