Grace Ikenegbu brings size, rebounding juice, and transfer upside to UNC Pembroke
Ikenegbu, a 5-foot-10 junior forward for UNC Pembroke in the 2025-26 season, looks like a high-motor frontcourt piece who can impact winning with rebounding, interior activity, and timely scoring. In a January 2026 win over Belmont Abbey, she flirted with a double-double with eight points and eight defensive rebounds, and she later posted eight points and a career-high 14 rebounds in a December 2025 game. The transfer adds immediate eligibility and a physical presence, making her a sensible fit for a team that wants toughness, effort, and frontcourt versatility.
