6'2" Forward with Elite Rebounding Instincts and High-Intensity Drive
Ava Miller, a 6'2" sophomore forward from Rochester, MN, stands out for her relentless rebounding (7.2 per game in 2025-26) and starting consistency (28 of 31 games), not just her 7.9 points. Her differentiator is an unmatched intensity level and a 'new to D87' adaptability that fueled a quick rise to the starting lineup, reflecting a personality of fierce determination and coachability. While she has no major injury history, her transition from USC Upstate (where she averaged 16.1 ppg) to UND shows she thrives in high-pressure roles. She is a perfect fit for teams needing a physical, high-energy forward who can anchor the paint and elevate with her work ethic, making her a must-watch for her raw potential and mental toughness.
