Meet Alexa Hendricks, the stunning Louisville athlete rivaling Kayla Simmons as ‘world’s sexiest volleyball player’
EX-COLLEGE volleyball star Alexa Hendricks has taken the internet by storm.
The 22-year-old former Louisville standout athlete went from a defensive specialist on the court to dazzling thousands of followers on social media.
Alexa grew up in Louisville and was a dominant high school player.
She led her school to numerous titles. She took home the 2017 and 2018 Durango Fall Classic Championships and the KHSAA State Championship in 2017 and 2018.
Alexa continued that success earning a scholarship to the University of Louisville.
She was described as a defensive specialist during her four-year tenure with the Cardinals.

In her last season in 2022, Alexa played 111 sets, recorded 22 assists, and 97 digs, and was crucial in sending Louisville to the National Championship.
The Cardinals fell short to Texas, but Alexa took to Instagram after the moment to reflect on her collegiate career.
"I have started typing five different captions for this post, but I just can't find the right words to describe how grateful, sad, and proud I am to be a part of this program."
"Louisville volleyball has truly built a one-of-a-kind program, and I am so grateful to be a part of it. This year not only do I have to say goodbye to such amazing teammates and staff, but I also have to say goodbye to the sport that I have been playing since I was about 11 years old."

"When I was in high school, I lost my passion for the game, but Louisville volleyball help me fall back in love with it."
Alexa has a substantial social media fanbase, with 110,000 followers on Instagram and 259,900 on Tik Tok.
She regularly posts photos and videos of her outfits and travels with friends.
Alexa went viral earlier this year on TikTok after documenting how a seed was ingrained into the inside of her cheek while eating a salad with edible flowers.
Her face swole up, stumping doctors, but eventually, the seed fell out after a few days.
