Junior Guard with Career-High 19 Points and Newcomer of the Week Honors
Kyra Perkins, a 5'10" junior guard for Austin Peay Governors, delivered a breakout 2025-26 season averaging 7.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game while scoring a career-high 19 points in Austin Peay’s first-ever win at FGCU[1][5]. Her intensity and defensive hustle stand out—she earned Atlantic Sun Newcomer of the Week on 11/17/2025 and consistently pressures opponents with steals and and-1 plays[3][4]. Though her field goal percentage is 37.0%, her 73.9% free throw shooting and relentless personality make her a high-energy fit for teams needing a versatile, steal-ready guard who elevates in clutch moments[8]. No injury history reported; she’s active and ready to contribute immediately[1].
