Breaking News: Alexis Markowski Leaves Nebraska Cornhuskers to Follow Coach Amy Williams to University of South Dakota Where she Calls to Represent as the Head Coach

In a stunning turn of events, Nebraska Cornhuskers star forward Alexis Markowski has announced she is leaving the program to follow former head coach Amy Williams to the University of South Dakota. This decision comes shortly after Williams revealed her plans to return to South Dakota, where she previously served as head coach from 2012 to 2016.

Markowski, a Lincoln native and cornerstone of the Cornhuskers’ lineup, has been a dominant force in the Big Ten since her freshman year. Known for her rebounding strength, inside scoring, and leadership on the court, she quickly became a fan favorite and one of the most decorated players in Nebraska’s recent history. Her departure marks a significant loss for the Huskers and a massive gain for the Coyotes.

Amy Williams’ return to South Dakota has already sparked excitement in Vermillion, and now, with Markowski reportedly entering the transfer portal and committing to follow her longtime coach, expectations for the Coyotes are skyrocketing. Williams and Markowski built a strong bond during their time in Lincoln, and that relationship appears to have played a key role in the forward’s decision.

This move is poised to shake up the Summit League, with South Dakota emerging as a potential powerhouse under Williams’ leadership. It also raises questions about the future direction of Nebraska’s women’s basketball program as they search for a new identity in the wake of these high-profile departures.

Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this new chapter unfolds for both Markowski and Williams, as they reunite in an effort to bring success back to the South Dakota Coyotes.
