Promising Rice guard with polish, pedigree, and scoring upside
Blackmon enters the 2026-27 season as a 5-10 sophomore guard for Rice with strong prep pedigree, including three league titles, a 2023-24 state championship, and McDonald’s All-American Game nominee status. In the 2025-26 season, she appeared in all 35 games and averaged 3.3 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.9 minutes, with a season-high 11 points at Houston. The appeal is her playmaking guard profile and proven winning background; the fit is best for a team that wants a competitive, developing combo guard who can grow into more usage.
