Maryland’s two-way engine: Okananwa brings scoring, steals, and momentum
Oluchi Okananwa has been a high-impact transfer for Maryland, quickly becoming a starter who scores efficiently, rebounds like a wing, and turns defense into offense with elite steal production. In the 2025-26 season, she was averaging 19.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.4 steals in Big Ten play, and Maryland highlighted her as a Terp of the Week after road wins at Michigan State and Nebraska. She fits teams that want a high-motor, physical guard who can attack the rim, create chaos defensively, and carry real volume scoring without losing her edge.
