Michael Penix Jr. quickly became an NCAA Football star when he took his team to the Sugar Bowl. The game between his Washington Huskies and the Michigan Wolverines didn’t go well for the Huskies QB. He ultimately lost the Heisman Trophy to Jayden Daniels. Through the disappointment, though, he had the support of his girlfriend, Olivia Carter.
Carter is a Seattle native and has ties with the sports world herself. From soccer to pool, to basketball, track and field, there aren’t a lot of stones she’s left unturned. Forget sports, she is equally brilliant in the field of science! Not to mention that she’s the biggest supporter of her quarterback boyfriend.

She attended the University of Nevada, Reno because she felt like she could “prosper there” and “reach her goals.” She played soccer with the Nevada Wolf Pack. As a captain of the team, she played for 4 years and scored 40 goals in that time. But that’s enough about sports. Carter is also academically gifted as she chose to study to become anesthesiologist. She joined Reno because of the environment and their personnel.
“I’m super excited. When I visited there, the coaches were great, the campus was beautiful and Reno was nice,” she once said. Along with her multi-faceted interests, Olivia Carter also takes every opportunity to support her significant other.
