Ayla McDowell is an efficient, high-upside South Carolina wing with international scoring chops
McDowell has already shown she can be a reliable floor-spacer and versatile two-way guard for South Carolina, averaging 4.1 points in 13.9 minutes in the 2025-26 season while hitting 36.3% from three and adding steady defensive activity.[2] Her resume is stronger than the box score: she was ranked No. 15 nationally in the Class of 2025, was Brazil’s top scorer at the 2025 FIBA U19 World Cup, and has a history of high-volume production and aggression on both ends.[6][19] If you want a young player with size, shot-making, toughness, and proven scoring instincts, she fits.
