ASUN Freshman of the Week with 12.0 PPG and Elite Efficiency
Jim'Miyah Branton, the Miami-native guard for Austin Peay, is a high-impact freshman who earned ASUN Freshman of the Week honors after scoring 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting against Chattanooga in the 2025 season. Her differentiators include elite efficiency (perfect 4-of-4 from the line in that game), a career-high 20-point explosion over Sewanee, and a versatile defensive toolkit with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal in her award-winning performance. Averaging 12.0 points per game with double-figure scoring in three of four games, Branton brings intense defensive awareness (all 4 rebounds were defensive) and a clutch personality that elevates team intensity. She's a perfect fit for teams needing a scoring guard who defends with grit and shoots with precision.
