Hailey Van Lith, 20-year-old sophomore guard for the Louisville Cardinals has been the first college athlete ever to have a jersey for sale. Van Lith has stated that she first started playing basketball at the age of 6 and loved it ever since. Hailey went to Cashmere High School in Wenatchee, Washington averaging 24 points a game.

It has been said under the Name Image Likeness, NIL, rule that Hailey will be able to profit off her jersey sales. As of July 1, 2021, NIL established as new policy that allows all NCAA, D1, D2, and D3 college athletes that they can be compensated. Hailey Van Lith is truly the next best thing, by being a World Cup gold medalist to excelling as a freshman of U of L by averaging 11 points and 5 rebounds per game. If you don’t think that’s enough many have stated that her social media accounts are rising with Instagram being ranked at top 10 alone. I believe that Hailey Van Lith has a bright future ahead of her and that she will be the next big thing, do you?
