Amaya Henderson brings size, shot-blocking buzz, and freshman upside to Davenport
In the 2025-26 season, Amaya Henderson is a 6'3" freshman center for Davenport with a defensive-first profile and clear paint-protector potential; her online player profile describes her as a "Defensive Player," "Paint Protector," and "Shot Blocking Machine." Davenport’s season preview highlights her as the program’s lone true freshman, and roster listings show she’s already part of the Panthers’ frontcourt mix. Her early statistical sample is tiny, so the main appeal is upside: length, rim deterrence, and a high-motor defensive identity that could make her a strong fit for a team needing interior toughness and long-term development.
