Ronika Stone has spent ample time proving that she’s Jordan Love’s biggest supporter. but she’s just as dedicated in her own life and career. That’s how she’s managed to achieve success in both college and professional athletics. From 2016 until 2019, Stone — who is the daughter of ex-NFL pro Ron Stone — played for the University of Oregon’s women volleyball team. She excelled during her time at Oregon, setting multiple records and becoming the sole player ever to block over 400 assists on the team, according to the University of Oregon website.
In October 2023, the San Diego Mojos — a brand new pro women’s volleyball team — announced Stone as their new recruit. “@ronikastone SIGNED! Welcome the AVCA Second-Team All-American & middle blocker out of @oregonvb to San Diego,” read the team’s Instagram post alongside a shot of Stone on the court. During a January 2023 interview with Fox 5 San Diego, Stone revealed the elements most important to her when playing volleyball. “I just want grit, fight, and fun,” she shared. “That’s Mojo. I’m dancing, I’m cheering, all the time.”
She went on to add, “Big play, little play, it doesn’t matter. You’ll always see me with a smile on my face and if it’s not there, it’s really time to go time.”
