Five-Star Freshman Nyla Brooks Brings Dazzling Skills and Confidence to UNC as Third-Leading Scorer
Nyla Brooks, a five-star wing ranked No. 13 by ESPN in the 2025 class, is UNC's third-leading scorer as a freshman, averaging 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in just 20 minutes per game during the 2025-26 season[2][3]. Her differentiators include *dazzling ball-handling skills*, *elite confidence*, and a *high-intensity playing style* that fuels her 6 steals and 3 blocks despite limited minutes[2][3]. Brooks shoots 38% overall and 32% from three, showing room to grow but already contributing 53 points, 16 rebounds, and 9 assists in 102 minutes[3]. With no reported injury history and a personality described as confident and dynamic, she's a high-upside fit for teams needing a versatile guard who can score off the bench and elevate with her intensity[2].
