speed-first Lopes utility weapon making the most of every chance
In the 2026 season, Briah Williams has been a pace-and-pressure piece for Grand Canyon, appearing in 51 games in 2025 and scoring 28 runs with 7 stolen bases as a freshman, then producing 24 runs and 4 steals in 2026 while continuing to thrive as a pinch-runner/util. Grand Canyon’s staff highlighted her speed as an immediate basepath impact tool and praised her as a great fit for the program, which points to a high-intensity, team-first player whose value goes beyond box-score volume.
