Rainey Welson brings freshman spark, shooting touch, and defensive edge to Maryland
Rainey Welson is a 5-foot-10 Maryland guard who arrived as a four-star, top-35 recruit and has already shown she can give the Terps a real bench jolt. In the 2025-26 season, she has averaged 2.4 points in 12.3 minutes across 9 games, and Maryland’s staff has praised her as a high-energy guard who can score, defend, and play with poise beyond her years. She also overcame a lower-leg issue and a concussion in her freshman year, which makes her toughness and upside especially interesting for teams wanting a gritty, versatile backcourt piece.
