Shannon Wheeler brings size, defense and timely scoring to Dayton’s frontcourt
In the 2024-25 season, Wheeler gave Dayton reliable rotation value, appearing in 30 games with 10 starts while averaging 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds; her best games showed a useful two-way profile, including a 12-point, two-block outing against Vanderbilt and a career-high two threes vs. Saint Louis. She is a **6-foot-2 forward** who can defend, rebound and stretch the floor just enough to keep help defenders honest, and the biggest reason to care is her low-drama, high-effort fit as a connector piece rather than a volume scorer.
