Emery Espinoza brings steady guard play and defensive pop for UTD
In the 2025-26 season, Emery Espinoza has been a low-usage but active sophomore guard for UT Dallas, appearing in 23 games and averaging 8.2 minutes with 0.8 points, 0.4 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. Her value is more about disruption and fit than box-score volume: she gives effort defensively, can create extra possessions, and has already flashed passing chops, including a four-assist outing in 2024. At 5'5", she looks like a spark-plug role guard—best for a team that wants pressure, energy, and discipline over flashy scoring.
