Wilkinson is a senior at Franklin Community High School in Franklin, Indiana, where she has earned varsity letters in golf and tennis.
A two-year team captain as well as a team Most Valuable Player, Wilkinson won a conference championship in 2018 and was a two-time All-County honoree. She helped lead FCHS to conference championships in 2018 and 2019.
“I am thrilled to get Alexa for this fall,” Porter said. “She is outgoing and charismatic, both on and off the court and I think she’ll add energy and enthusiasm to our team chemistry immediately. She is a very good athlete who will continue to improve her game at the collegiate level.”
Wilkinson joins newcomers Rachel McCorkle (Tulsa, Oklahoma) and Lauren Rowe (Terre Haute, Indiana), both of whom signed NLIs last fall, on USI’s list of incoming freshmen.
“My three freshmen are all talented student-athletes and I expect they will push my returners in the lineup,” Porter said.
