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.
