Taylor Barner brings shot-making and disruptive defense to ECU's backcourt
Barner is a 5-9 guard known for two-way impact: she has shown scoring punch, three-level shot-making, and active hands on defense, with ECU listing her as a redshirt freshman after a 2024-25 injury redshirt and a 2025-26 season at East Carolina in which she averaged 10.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in 30 games. She also has high-upside pedigree as a four-star recruit and former high school scoring leader, which suggests she can be a useful fit for a team needing a confident perimeter creator who competes defensively and can heat up quickly.
