Briauna Thompson is UNC Asheville’s veteran glass-eater with a servant-leader edge
In the 2024-25 season, sixth-year forward Briauna Thompson appeared in 6 games for UNC Asheville before an injury ended her year; she posted 9 points and 7 rebounds in that stretch, after averaging 0.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 2023-24. The big draw is her size and rebound-hunting mentality: at 6-3, she’s a classic interior presence who has also earned the program’s first Kay Yow Servant Leader Award, signaling leadership and toughness beyond the box score. If you want a physical, veteran frontcourt piece with character and boards-first value, she fits the bill.
