Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who won the Heisman Trophy at Alabama, was named the male winner of the award for 2020-21.
The superstar Lilley who was named Most Valuable Player when the Wildcats won their first-ever national title has been adorned with so many accolades, but for the Kentucky athletic program and the rest of the league she becomes the first-ever volleyball player to win the award since
The 5-foot-11 senior setter came to Kentucky from Overland Park, Kansas, and quickly became the face of Wildcat volleyball.
