Lauren Whittaker is already a double-double machine for Gonzaga
Whittaker emerged in 2025-26 as Gonzaga’s interior engine, winning WCC Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year while leading the league in scoring, rebounding, and field-goal percentage. She averaged 19.1 points and 10.2 rebounds in 26.4 minutes, set Gonzaga freshman records for points and rebounds, and showed elite consistency with 31 double-digit scoring games and 17 regular-season double-doubles. Beyond the numbers, she stands out for her motor, physicality, and immediate fit in Lisa Fortier’s system, making her a high-impact frontcourt piece for a team that wants production now.[6][12][19]
