Kylie Salzler is a freshman wing with perimeter pop and gritty upside for UC Merced
In the 2025-26 season, Kylie Salzler has already shown she can chip in as a spacing threat and hustle guard for UC Merced, with a career-best 13 points in a win over Chaminade and a 60% mark from three in that game. She’s a 5'9" freshman from Oceanside who profiles as a secondary creator rather than a volume scorer, and her early college stat line points to a developing, low-ego contributor. The fit question is easy: if you need a guard who can defend, run, and hit timely shots, she’s worth a serious look.
