Parris Atkins is FIU’s two-way engine and one of Conference USA’s most disruptive guards
Atkins has evolved into FIU’s heartbeat: in the 2024-25 season, she averaged 13.7 points, 2.4 steals, and shot 46.1% from the field, earning Second-Team All-CUSA; by 2025-26, she entered the year on the preseason all-conference team and kept piling up recognition after a 21-point, 6-rebound, 4-assist, 2-steal week in February 2026. Her calling card is two-way impact—efficient scoring, pressure defense, and a knack for big moments—so she fits a team that wants a tough, high-motor guard who can create offense and turn defense into transition chaos.
