6-1 Transfer Forward Bringing High-Energy Defense and Fastbreak Finishing to Central Arkansas
Linda Amaning, a 6-1 sophomore forward for the Central Arkansas Sugar Bears, differentiates herself with an intense defensive mindset and clutch fastbreak execution, averaging 3.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in the 2025-26 season while contributing 45.8% shooting. Unlike typical stat-readers, Amaning’s value lies in her relentless intensity—evident in her 1.0 steals per game during her 2024-25 freshman year at Saint Peters—and her ability to convert fastbreak free throws under pressure, as seen in key January and February 2026 games. She has no significant injury history, plays with a fearless, team-first personality, and is a perfect fit for teams needing a versatile, high-motor forward who elevates defensive intensity and finishes in transition. Her 21-11 team record in 2025-26 underscores her role in a winning culture.
