ACC Player of the Week with Explosive 20-Point Surge and Elite Shooting Efficiency
Sophomore guard Reniya Kelly is a breakout star for North Carolina, earning ACC Player of the Week in February 2025 after posting back-to-back 20-point games to propel UNC into the AP Top 10. Her differentiator is a dramatic leap in shooting efficiency—jumping from 26.5% to 42.4% overall and 26.8% to 40.7% from three—while increasing her scoring average from 4.6 to 9.7 PPG in the 2024-25 season. Kelly brings high-intensity playmaking (2.2 APG, 1.1 SPG) and a fearless scoring mentality that elevates team performance. With no reported injury history and a rapid adaptation to increased minutes, she is an ideal fit for teams needing a versatile, efficient guard who can score in bursts and defend aggressively.
