In the latest development, the Columbus Fury has drafted Pittsburgh Panthers’ Emma Monks.

Promising a professional career for collegiate volleyball players, the Federation hopes to become one of the major tournaments in the country. With iconic names like Cincinnati Bengals’ QB Joe Burrow and popstar Jason Derulo becoming team owners and investors, the Pro Volleyball Federation is looking like a great career option for collegiate volleyball players. And now, as the Pittsburg Panthers look to take on No. 1-seed Nebraska Huskers in the NCAA national semis, their star hitter seems to have found her way after college already.

In a post shared by the official Pitt Volleyball account on X, Monks’ drafting by the Columbus Fury has been announced. Given the Panthers’ current form, they have been on the radar for multiple talent scouts in the country. Moreover, the fact that the Columbus Fury is co-owned by iconic football star Joe Burrow, makes it all the more lucrative an option for players.

One take at a time

Growing up, I didn’t really have an interest in Olympic sports, but it was always something intriguing.
