Lauren Yearwood brings rim protection, rebounding grit, and old-school forward toughness
Lauren Yearwood is a physical 6-foot-4 forward whose value shows up in the dirty work: in the 2019-20 season for Santa Clara, she led the Broncos in blocks with 40, averaged 5.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game, and earned WCC All-Academic honors[1]. She’s the kind of frontcourt piece coaches love because she protects the paint, rebounds with purpose, and gives consistent energy; that combination makes her a strong fit for a team needing interior defense, toughness, and low-maintenance production[1][2].
