Harvard’s versatile rookie guard Olivia Jones is a do-it-all spark plug
In the 2025-26 season, Olivia Jones emerged as one of Harvard’s most impactful first-years, earning unanimous Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors and repeatedly stacking up all-around lineups: rebounds, assists, steals, and timely scoring. She’s a guard who can handle the ball under pressure, attack the glass, and make winning plays when injuries force lineup changes, which makes her more than a box-score name. For a team, the appeal is her versatility, poise, and willingness to absorb responsibility early in her career.
