Freshman guard Peyton Podany is emerging as a high-usage two-way spark for Saint John’s
In the 2025-26 season, Podany has already flashed real shot-creation value, averaging 13.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 64 assists while starting every game and earning MIAC Offensive Player of the Week honors after a 34-point breakout and multiple 20-plus-point outings.[5][2][6] What makes him interesting beyond the box score is his blend of size for a guard, willingness to rebound, and confidence as a volume scorer who can also make enough plays for others to matter; if you want a competitive freshman who can grow into a primary option, he fits that profile.[8][5][2]
