UTSA’s Puerto Rican-born floor general who powered a championship run
In the 2024-25 season, Nina De Leon Negron was UTSA’s engine: 9.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.5 steals per game while earning American Conference Newcomer of the Year and second-team all-conference honors. Her calling card is pace control, playmaking, and leadership—she was also cited among the nation’s leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio and helped drive UTSA to a regular-season title. Why care? She’s a savvy, high-IQ guard who lifts teammates, plays with edge, and has a proven winning impact.
