Rising Sophomore Forward Gaining Traction at Cal Poly
Sophomore forward Avery Knapp (6-1) has stepped up big in the 2025-26 season, averaging 4.0-4.4 points, 2.7-2.9 rebounds, and 0.5 assists at 38-43% FG across 12 games—doubling her freshman output of just 1.0 PPG in nine games.[1][3][5][6] A multi-sport phenom from San Ramon Valley HS (top-10 state athlete in three sports, Athlete of the Year), she's got D1 basketball genes from both parents and elite rebounding grit (six boards twice as frosh).[1] Athletic, versatile, and leadership-tested as senior class president, Knapp's high-motor intensity makes her a coach's dream for development—perfect fit for teams needing raw upside and hustle up front.
