Nia Young brings veteran bench value and defensive activity to NCCU
Young is a dependable transfer guard for North Carolina Central who gives the Eagles steady bench production, defensive pressure, and versatility; in 2025-26 she played every game, averaged 4.2 points and nearly a steal in 16 minutes per contest, and delivered season highs of 13 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. She fits a team that needs a mature, low-drama connector who can handle multiple roles, compete hard, and elevate second-unit lineups with toughness and experience.
