NC State’s steady two-way wing: Qadence Samuels brings length, rebounding, and late-season momentum
Qadence Samuels is a 6-foot guard for NC State who became a dependable starter in the 2025-26 season, appearing in all 32 games and averaging 6.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 0.8 steals per game, with a strong finish highlighted by 45.6% shooting over the final 10 games.[1][8] Her value goes beyond the box score: she plays bigger than her position, rebounds like a forward, and gives the Wolfpack a physical, versatile defender with championship-level experience from her time at UConn.[2][6] If you want a tough, high-energy wing who fits winning basketball and can keep improving as a complementary glue piece, she’s a very solid fit.[1][13]
