Nadiyah Byard brings length, defensive activity, and rebounding pop to UAPB
Byard is a versatile guard/wing type who impacts games beyond scoring, with rebounding, defensive energy, and physicality standing out in 2024-25 for Arkansas-Pine Bluff. In the 2024-25 season, she averaged 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 points in 15.6 minutes per game, and her 12-rebound outing against UTEP showed real possession-winning value. Her background as a multi-sport high jumper also hints at burst, competitiveness, and above-the-rim athletic traits that can translate well in a system that values effort and versatility.
