Mikayla Blakes is Vanderbilt’s fearless shot-creator and two-way engine
In the 2025-26 season, Blakes led Division I in scoring at 27.0 points per game while adding 4.6 assists and 2.9 steals, a rare combo that screams alpha guard with real two-way bite[10][11][13]. She’s not just a volume scorer—she’s efficient enough to matter, knocks down threes, gets to the line, and has shown she can carry big-game pressure, including a Sweet 16 run that featured a near triple-double[11][12][13]. If you want a guard who can bend a defense, create her own offense, and set the tone with edge, she’s the real deal[15].
