Elise Jaeger is UNI’s two-way rebounding engine with floor-stretching touch
In the 2025-26 season, Elise Jaeger emerged as a must-know forward for UNI, starting all 31 games while averaging 7.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, and she set a UNI single-season record with 275 defensive rebounds. Her calling card is a rare combo for a frontcourt player: elite glass-cleaning, real perimeter range, and enough passing feel to keep the offense moving. She was also a 2025-26 MVC Preseason Watchlist pick and earned All-Freshman honors the year before, which says the league already respects her trajectory. If your team wants toughness, motor, and versatility, she fits.
