Here's what to know about Stone, who's no stranger to the NFL world.
Who is Jordan Love's girlfriend?
Love's girlfriend may be just as athletic, if not more so, than Love.
Stone is a professional volleyball player. The middle blocker played collegiately at Oregon, becoming an AVCA All-American and a three-time All-Pac12 selection. During her time with the Ducks, from 2016 to 2019, she set a handful of of program records. Stone is the all-time leader in hitting percentage (.336), the all-time leader in block assists (429) and ranks third and fifth in school history in total blocks (485) and points (1,605.5).
Stone is the daughter of two-time Super Bowl winner Ron Stone, who most notably played for the Cowboys. So it's no surprise she was able to delay her journalism career and continue volleyball at the professional level.
Following graduation from Oregon, Stone moved to France where she played one season for Volero Le Cannet. She moved back to the United States after, sayingthe COVID-19 pandemicmade it difficult to play overseas.
