Danielle Tyner brings size, rebounding, and a steady two-way floor game for UC Santa Cruz
In the 2025-26 season, Danielle Tyner has already shown the kind of frontcourt value coaches love: a 6'0" sophomore forward who can chip in across the box score, including a 10-point, 10-rebound outing in a 68-60 win over Pacific Lutheran and a 1-point, 3-rebound, 1-assist season debut at Cal Poly. ESPN lists her as active and playing rotation minutes, which suggests she is earning trust early in the season. Her appeal is versatility and effort rather than flashy volume, making her a sensible fit for a team that wants rebounds, physicality, and reliable all-around support.[1][3]
