physical Nebraska center who brought steady, low-usage interior value
Periago was a 6-foot-4 center from Toulon, France who gave Nebraska dependable frontcourt minutes, peaking in 2010-11 with career bests in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals while averaging 2.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game[1][5]. Her value was less about volume scoring and more about size, effort, and versatility on the glass and in the paint, and sources describing her as a team player suggest a selfless fit for a role that prioritizes toughness over touches[8].
