High-Impact Sophomore Guard with Elite High School Scoring Pedigree and Academic Discipline
Grace Knutson, a 5'10" sophomore guard for the Drake Bulldogs, brings a proven scoring pedigree from her high school career where she averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game as an All-State junior, though her 2025-26 college season saw a transition to a supporting role with 9.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists on 41.3% shooting. Her differentiators include a wide perimeter shooting range, consistent defensive intensity (evidenced by 2 steals per game in high school), and exceptional academic discipline with a 3.66 GPA in Management & Organization Leadership, signaling high coachability and mental toughness. While she isn't currently the team's primary scorer, her versatility as a two-way guard who can hit from the perimeter and contribute in rebounds makes her a reliable, low-risk fit for teams needing depth, defensive stability, and a player with a strong work ethic who thrives in structured environments.
