Mississippi State’s pressure defender with two-way bite
Jordan Danberry is a high-motor, defense-first guard who helped power Mississippi State’s elite era with steals, toughness, and winning edge; in the 2019-20 season, she led the Bulldogs in scoring at 13.6 points per game and steals at 2.6 per game while ranking second in assists at 3.1 per game[8]. She also earned SEC All-Defensive Team and second-team All-SEC honors, which matches the eye test: relentless on-ball pressure, quick hands, and a fearless, tone-setting style that fits teams needing a disruptive guard who makes opponents uncomfortable[4][7].
