Taryn Wharton is UNI’s steady senior guard with a timely scoring punch
In the 2025-26 season, Taryn Wharton has been a reliable two-way guard for UNI, averaging 9.6 points in 30.6 minutes while starting every game and contributing 2.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. She’s not just filling a box score: she posted a career-high 22 points in a February 2026 win over UIC and earned MVC Scholar-Athlete recognition with a 3.74 GPA in nursing, a nice sign of discipline and composure. The fit is appealing if you want a tough, mature guard who can handle pressure, lead by example, and do the unglamorous stuff well.
