Kayla Martin brings efficient rebounding and disruptive defense for Gardner-Webb
In the 2023-24 season, Kayla Martin gave Gardner-Webb useful minutes as a freshman guard, averaging 2.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 13.1 minutes per game while shooting 40.0% from the field.[1][3] Her profile suggests a gritty, all-around role player: she rebounds well for her size, creates disruption defensively, and came in with notable pedigree from St. Francis Prep, where she was once nominated for McDonald’s All-American consideration.[1][3] She redshirted in 2024-25, so the key question for a team is upside and development rather than immediate box-score volume.[3]
