Lara Somfai’s rise: Stanford’s do-it-all freshman engine
In the 2025-26 season, Lara Somfai emerged as a high-impact Stanford freshman forward, averaging 10.8 points and 9.1 rebounds while starting all 32 games, with a 15-point, 23-rebound, 8-assist explosion at Pitt that showed her rare versatility and motor. She stands out as a stretch forward with physical rebounding, passing feel, and two-way activity; the tradeoff is that her scoring efficiency is still growing, but the production, toughness, and pro-style rebounding make her a plug-and-play fit for a team that wants a relentless frontcourt presence with upside. The catch? She’s already good, and the ceiling still looks sneaky-high.
