The outstanding star wide receiver for the University of South Florida Bulls is on cloud nine, given a stellar season that has put him in the bright spot. As the first 1000-yard wide receiver in South Florida‘s history, Sean Atkins is no more an underdog but the much-hyped-about player in the AAC. But while fans are busy noticing his top-notch plays, there is also a buzz surrounding ’38 Baby’s personal life, especially about his secret girlfriend. In his own words, he once said, “God put me in this position, and I’m surrounded by people who bring out the best in me.” with that, let’s explore who he was talking about.

So her name is “RHY,” short for Rhyan Sutherland, who has been a constant presence in Sean Atkins’s life. “Univ. of North Florida Nursing. It all comes back to you.” That’s the Instagram bio of our star receiver’s girlfriend. Since she maintains a private life, her Instagram account is also in private settings. But don’t you worry, ’cause we know what she does and where she stays when not with Atkins.

The school she has mentioned is a nursing program that provides a variety of graduate and undergraduate programs. Additionally, Sutherland’s school is based on the motto of providing a community-based and population-focused curriculum while keeping up the students with the latest trends in the industry. Given that, we can figure out how dedicated she should be to her studies.
