Katelyn Eggena brings size, two-way grit, and freshman upside to Western Illinois
In the 2025-26 season, Katelyn Eggena has flashed efficient scoring and low-maintenance forward play for Western Illinois, averaging 1.7 points across 20 appearances while shooting 43.3% on twos and showing a disciplined, team-first profile. The 6-foot-1 freshman from Waverly, Iowa arrives with proven high-school production—14 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.1 blocks as a senior—and the kind of rebounding/defensive versatility that can translate upward. She looks like a fit for teams that value length, toughness, and patient development rather than instant-volume offense.
