Piper Carlson is Idaho State’s paint anchor and one of the Bengals’ most reliable two-way forwards
In the 2025-26 season, Piper Carlson has been a steady interior force for Idaho State, starting 29 of 30 games and averaging 10.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 51.3% shooting while logging 28.0 minutes per game.[4][6] At 6'1" and listed as a junior, she gives the Bengals physicality, activity on the glass, and disruptive defense, with the kind of consistency coaches love in a frontcourt piece.[1][4] The biggest differentiator is her all-around reliability: she scores efficiently, rebounds like a post, and contributes defensively without needing heavy usage.[4][6]
