OVC Female Athlete & 12.3 PPG Senior Guard for Western Illinois
Addi Brownfield, the 5'9" senior guard for Western Illinois, is the 2025-26 OVC Female Athlete of the Year, averaging 12.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game in the 2025-26 season[4][8]. Her differentiator is her elite intensity and 'let-it-fly' deep shooting confidence, evidenced by rallying from an 11-point deficit to beat Bradley undefeated[2][7]. Unlike stats alone show, she plays with a relentless, team-first mentality, starting 33 of 34 games as a junior and earning preseason 'player to watch' honors[1]. With no injury history and a Boonville, MO grit, she is a perfect fit for teams needing a high-intensity, versatile leader who elevates teammates under pressure[1][5].
