Azyah Newson-Cole gives IU Indy a poised, all-around backcourt piece
Newson-Cole is a **high-minute, two-way guard** who earned Horizon League All-Freshman honors after bouncing back from an injury redshirt in 2023-24 and starting 23 of 29 games in 2024-25. She is valued for her **playmaking, rebounding from the guard spot, and steadiness**—posting 5.6 points, 2.2 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game in 2024-25, with a career-high 13-point game and a six-assist outing showing she can run an offense when needed. Her biggest fit question is shooting efficiency, but her toughness, experience, and versatility make her a useful rotation guard.
