Aileen Hnatiuk of WFLA News Channel 8 has become used to going viral ever since she posted a simple selfie, and now it is happening again.
The 2024 college football regular season has begun, and Hnatiuk is getting ready to return to work as she will cover the University of South Florida this college football season.
Much like her selfie from 2023, Aileen Hnatiuk has fans going crazy after posting a picture of herself looking straight into the camera while wearing a tank top and being in the team’s practice stadium.
The post of Aileen Hnatiuk has been seen over 2 million times.
The 27-year-old also reports on the Tampa Bay Rays for WFLA-TV and has previously covered the NFL, which she will likely do when the Tampa Bay Bucs begin to play in about a week.
As stated before, Aileen Hnatiuk took the internet by storm in early 2023 when her season-sign off outside the New Orleans Saints facility went viral.
She was rather unknown before that picture, which eventually led to her getting thousands of followers.
She wouldn’t stick around long, as she would accept a job in her native Florida reporting on all things Tampa sports.
Reporter Aileen Hnatiuk Had Sports Background For a Career In Reporting
WFLA’s Aileen Hnatiuk is a star online because of her fresh-face selfies, but she is much more than a pretty face.
The three-year letterwinner at Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School played college volleyball at ECU.
The graduate of East Carolina University was a top player on the volleyball team.
She finished school with seven internships.
After graduating in 2018, Aileen Hnatiuk accepted a sports reporter position at NBC29 WVIR-TV in Charlottesville, Virginia, and she quickly started to rise through the ranks.
Following that job, she would head back to Tampa as a freelance sports broadcaster across the state of Florida.
According to BRproud.com, Hnatiuk also worked for CBS Sports Network as a sideline reporter and host before she headed to New Orleans and what she is doing now.
