Oklahoma State’s paint anchor with Big 12 Newcomer buzz
In the 2005-06 season, Whitney Pegram emerged as Oklahoma State’s interior engine, averaging 14.3 points, 2.56 blocks, and shooting 45.9% from the field while setting the school’s single-season blocks record with 69 and earning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honors. She brings real rim protection, efficient low-post scoring, and the kind of physical presence that changes how opponents attack the paint. The upside is obvious if a team wants a center who can anchor defense and finish inside; the caution flag is consistency, since reports that season noted stretches where her play and practice level dipped.
