6-5 UTSA center Elena Blanding brings length, rebounding, and steady veteran value
Elena Blanding is a long, bruising interior presence for UTSA, listed at 6-5 and built to protect the paint, rebound, and finish efficiently inside. Across her UTSA career, she has been a low-usage contributor with solid efficiency, and her past injury-shortened freshman season adds some context to her development arc. She’s not a volume scorer, but she gives a team size, physicality, and dependable effort—useful traits for a coach who wants rim protection, board work, and a disciplined post player.
