February 9th is the day every Husker fan will remember—Lexi Rodriguez’s long-awaited pro volleyball debut. Of course, she’s been a member of the LOVB Omaha squad for over a month, having turned pro shortly after ending her collegiate career. But all this time, she was not stepping onto the court. That all changed when Omaha faced off against Salt Lake, and in the high-stakes fifth set, the moment finally arrived.
Lexi entered the game, and—call it fate, call it magic, but her presence just hit different. With her on the court, Omaha locked in a hard-fought victory with set scores of 25-17, 25-21, 18-25, 19-25, and 15-12. Now, fresh off her first taste of pro success, Lexi is basking in the moment—but not without a little nervous energy. And a jittery Lexi Rodriguez drops a hilarious update as she soaks in the thrill of her new journey!
Lexi Rodriguez just gave her fans a morning reality check, and honestly, it’s too relatable! The volleyball star took to TikTok, recording straight from her bathroom, barely awake, when she spotted something truly alarming—her first-ever under-eye bags. With a dramatic mix of shock and disbelief, she captioned the video, “POV you wake up to the lines you’ve never seen before,” while doubling down in the description with, “this traveling is really getting to me hahaha.” Clearly, life on the road is catching up, and Lexi is not ready for it!

Wearing her eye patches in full crisis mode, she went off in the most dramatic (and hilarious) way: “I’m only 21, can a girl have some time?” She inspected her reflection, utterly distressed, wondering, “How do bags form overnight? These weren’t here yesterday… is that how it happens?” And now, she’s on a mission, pleading with fans to save her: “Drop your favorite under-eye cream cause we are getting rid of these!” Looks like Lexi’s toughest opponent right now isn’t on the volleyball court—it’s under her eyes!
Clearly, Lexi Rodriguez’s demanding schedule is starting to take its toll! Born on 11 March 2003, this 21-year-old volleyball star has been in full travel mode—first tearing it up during the NCAA collegiate season and now hitting the pro circuit with LOVB. From Salt Lake to Madison to Austin, she’s practically living out of a suitcase, and yeah… it’s taking a toll. But if you thought she’d just power through quietly, you don’t know Lexi Rodriguez! Because let’s be real—this isn’t the first time she’s had her fans in stitches with a seriously hilarious update.

The caption? An absolute comedic gem: “pov: you get pulled over the day after losing in the final four.” Amid her sniffles, she admitted, “I just got pulled over, but he gave me a warning, so whatever.” Then, in an unmistakable Lexi twist, she added, with a blend of laughter and tears, “He also said good game. I am just like really going through it.”
Truly, the entire situation was a total vibe. One moment, Lexi Rodriguez was fiercely competing on the court for a championship title, and the next, she was dabbing her tears while receiving a sympathetic shoutout from a police officer. And in true Lexi fashion, she wrapped it all up with a perfect self-aware touch: “It’s okay to laugh I was a bit dramatic. Thank you officer for being so kind.” Dramatic? Maybe. Iconic? Absolutely.
