UIC Flames Guard Inks Chile Deal After Steady 8.2 PPG Career
Danyel Middleton, a 5'10" guard from UIC Flames, recently signed a professional contract to play for Club Deportivo Omega in Chile, marking the culmination of a steady 4-year college career averaging 8.2 points and 104 steals across 97 games (66 starts). While her stats show a modest 38.9% field goal percentage, her differentiator is elite defensive intensity and playmaking flair—evidenced by her signature behind-the-back passes and high steal totals. Known for her Chicago-born grit and unselfish intensity, Middleton thrives in high-pressure road games and brings a veteran mindset despite graduating in 2025. She’s a perfect fit for teams needing a defensive-minded guard with leadership and creative passing, not just scoring. No major injury history reported; her intensity level is consistently high, making her a reliable, battle-tested asset.
