Daniya Brown brings freshman guard upside to Rider
Daniya Brown is a **freshman guard** for Rider who played in **19 games** in 2025-26, averaging **2.6 points** and **0.8 rebounds** per game with a **28.4% field-goal mark** and **22% from three**, so the box score says she’s still finding her rhythm[4][5][8]. What makes her worth watching is the combination of early college experience, perimeter role, and recognized high-school pedigree — she arrived after earning a **2025 WCAC Second Team** nod, which points to real guard talent and competitive upside[2]. For a team, she looks like a developmental fit: a young backcourt piece with room to grow into more efficient scoring and shot creation[1][4].
