UT Martin Guard Grace Billington: Sharp-Shooting Sophomore with Resilient Mindset
Grace Billington, a 5'10" sophomore guard for the UT Martin Skyhawks, averaged 5.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 30 games during the 2025-26 season, shooting 32.7% from the field and 25.5% from three [1][2]. Though her shooting percentages are modest, she differentiates herself as a resilient, hard-working player who overcame early injury setbacks at Murray State—where she played only 14 games as a freshman averaging 1.7 points in 3.4 minutes—to earn a full-time role at UT Martin [3][4]. Teammates and coaches describe her as a "sharp shooter" with high intensity and a grateful, workmanlike personality [3][7]. Her ability to stay healthy and expand her role after transfer signals strong fit potential for teams seeking a dependable, growth-oriented guard with perimeter upside and mental toughness.
