Tess Heal brings efficient scoring, big-moment poise and all-conference polish to Kansas State
In the 2025-26 season, Tess Heal emerged as a high-value backcourt engine for Kansas State, earning All-Big 12 Third Team honors after leading the Wildcats in Big 12 scoring at 15.5 points per game on 53.1% shooting, 40.9% from three and 87.5% at the line. She’s more than a bucket-getter: Heal has shown fourth-quarter takeover ability, hit 31 points at Houston and 25 on 11-of-13 shooting against a top-tier defense, while also bringing steals, rebounds and a steady, efficient style. The only real question mark is workload/eligibility management after her NCAA suspension, but as a fit, she’s a smart, tough, veteran guard who can score without hijacking an offense.
