Daija Preston brings two-way guard energy to VCU
Preston has been a useful two-way piece for VCU, averaging 5.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals in her 2025-26 season while starting 7 of 17 games, which points to a guard who impacts winning beyond scoring. Her calling card is defensive disruption and rim pressure, and VCU’s staff specifically highlighted her explosive ability to get to the basket and relentless defensive effort. The swing factor is efficiency—her shooting numbers were modest—but if you want an energetic, physical guard who competes hard and fills the box score, she fits the profile.
