Vanderbilt’s defensive tone-setter with elite hustle and high-efficiency scoring
In her Vanderbilt career, Jennifer Risper stood out as a do-everything guard whose biggest differentiator was defense: she won WBCA National Defensive Player of the Year, was SEC Defensive Player of the Year, and led the SEC with 81 steals in her senior season while starting 85 straight games. She also brought efficient offense, including a career-best 50.4% shooting season and strong rebounding for a guard, which made her valuable beyond box-score scoring. If you want a gritty, high-motor two-way guard who raises a team’s intensity and disrupts opponents, Risper fits.
