Aiyana Mitchell is Vanderbilt’s rising 6-4 frontcourt mismatch with double-double upside
In the 2025-26 season, Aiyana Mitchell gave Vanderbilt a real interior spark: she averaged a career-best 5.8 points and 4.8 rebounds, opened the year with a three-game double-digit scoring streak, and posted her first career double-double with 12 points and 10 boards against Cal in Paris. She’s a long, physical forward who rebounds well, protects the rim, and can score efficiently around the basket—exactly the kind of glue-and-grow piece coaches love. If your team wants size, energy, and a player trending upward, she’s very much worth your attention.
